The bolts lock in place the moving parts of the bridge, known as bascules.
Four two metre-long nose bolts have been removed and replaced on Tower Bridge for the first time in decades as part of a series of maintenance works taking place during overnight closures.
The work is being carried out by City Bridge Foundation, the 900-year-old charity which owns and maintains Tower Bridge and four other Thames crossings. “Doing these kind of jobs at night means we keep London moving and minimise disruption to motorists, pedestrians and the many tourists who come to enjoy the visitor attraction.”
