Tower Bridge to get electric and touristic revamp
London plans to replace Tower Bridge’s steam hydraulic engines with electro hydraulic systems to cut operating costs from 414,250 to about 58,750 pounds yearly. The City of London contemplates adding restaurants, boutiques, guided tours, and scheduled openings, preserving four engines, and making the landmark a currency generator rather than a money loser. The move aims to keep the bridge as a living museum while boosting tourism and safeguarding its heritage.
