Longer term they should maybe look at relocating the shipyard as being preferable to keeping dismantling the bridge or losing the business.

Of course they could replace the bridge with something equally iconic but designed to open. If all else fails a sightseeing visit to the Tower of London might help.

Since the bridge is no longer used for trains, they could just jack* the whole thing up 10-20m so that future ships (as long as they fit under this new height) can just sail under it as well.

*as in create new permanent additions to the foundations/support pillars to make them taller, raising the entire bridge up.
