Restore the Hammersmith Bridge river crossing for cars.

We want government to take control of the funding and process to reopen this important bridge to vehicular traffic given the stalemate between existing parties. Significant additional traffic to the bridges east and west of it is causing significant snarl-ups since its closure in 2019.
