Bridget, the Bridge Widget, tells you when Tower Bridge is next scheduled to lift so you can plan your journeys around the disruption. Using data scraped (with the gratefully acknowledged help of Tom Czarniecki) from the Tower Bridge website, it also tells you the following three lift events - touch any event to see which boat the bridge is lifting for, and which direction the boat's going. For at-a-glance reckoning in your morning bleariness, the background changes for today/tonight or future day/future night. Tower Bridge is in London, UK.

I think it's back to normal now, please report any strangeness you find!

Yes sorry, Tower Bridge updated their site and changed the structure of that page. I'm working on an update to the scrape script to get it back in shape. There might be some inaccurate results while it's in progress.

Bridget seems to have stopped working. Maybe an update to the scraped site? Is an update planned?
