Wasn't that becaue the IRA had tried to blow it up?
Twice in the late 90's, but it was structurally unsound before that. It probably needs replacing with a new structure, or it's just a giant money pit. It affects Barnes more than anywhere else, and Barnes is in Richmond, which is LibDem/Green. They won't willingly spend a shilling on road-related improvements, so don't expect any change anytime soon.
His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

London infrastructure is appalling. Where the **** does all the council tax and business rates go?
I think you could make that argument for England and maybe the UK as a whole. Investment in infrastructure has been lagging for decades. The same is true in the USA.
All we can afford now is patching up bits and the odd shiny new thing like Crossrail that runs years behind schedule and many billions over budget.
At least London has had Crossrail and several other major infrastructure projects plus likely to benefit from airport expansion, HS2 etc. Other parts of the country have been shamefully underfunded in comparison. I'll believe it when I see it, but BoJo's 'levelling up' of infrastructure and investment is actually one of the only sensible things he's ever said.
