The four bridges in Richmond borough classed as "substandard" all cross railway lines.
This means they are unable to carry the heaviest vehicles now seen on our roads, including lorries of up to 44 tonnes.
Recent research by the RAC Foundation found 3,105 substandard bridges across the country.
In Richmond, there are 31 bridges and four of these were considered substandard – but one has since been improved.
A spokesperson for Richmond Council said the road bridges classed as substandard are:
- Church Road Bridge (crossing railway lines) near Richmond Station;
- High Park Road Bridge (crossing railway lines) near Kew;
- Queens Ride Bridge (crossing railway lines) near Barnes;
- Rocks Lane Bridge (crossing railway lines) near Barnes Station, which has now been strengthened to full carrying capacity.
