Yes, Tower Bridge has undergone several renovations throughout its history. In the late 1970s, its original steam-powered hydraulic system was replaced with an electro-hydraulic system. More recently, in 2008–2012, the bridge was fully refurbished, including repainting and structural repairs. Regular maintenance ensures that both the roadways and the lifting mechanisms remain safe and functional. The bridge is carefully preserved as both a working structure and a heritage site. Its upkeep helps maintain London’s historic skyline.
