Hoo-flippin-ray! :D:D:D:D
 
Went through the bridge yesterday and there was a team of guys working on the supports ready for the lift.

Did notice the mooring restrictions on that stretch are still in place. Anyone know when they're being lifted?

All the EA website notices from pre Olympics have now disappeared from their website but I think you will find all is back to normal as soon as the bridge dismantling is finished and the exclusion zone buoys removed - have they gone yet?
 
Yes, the buoys have gone but the signs are still being displayed at Boveney Lock. The assistant on duty there didn't know when they were coming down.
