Hammersmith flyover, Road bridge in Hammersmith, United Kingdom.
The Hammersmith Flyover extends 622 meters across west London, featuring a concrete structure with sixteen spans supported by central columns.
Construction of the Hammersmith Flyover began in January 1960, with G. Maunsell & Partners completing the project in November 1961 for £1.2 million.
The construction required partial clearing of St Paul's Church yard, altering the physical landscape of Hammersmith's oldest parish.
The flyover connects the Cromwell Road extension to the Great West Road, forming a crucial link between central London and Heathrow Airport.
Original design included heating cables in the road surface to prevent ice formation, an innovative feature that was later discontinued due to operational costs.
