Is the path under the bridge closed? Can’t quite fathom how there would be more risk to those going over the bridge than those under it.

I mean, the railway paths at night can be a risky business. The main issue appears to be the length of the "diversion" route is significant at the moment because of tram-related closures.
That and it doubles as their pub's beer garden.

Pah, that's nothing. I received a Knighthood from McDonald's.

As much as i do not agree with closing the bridge (what is the real risk of collapse with pedestrian traffic?), the agenda of the current campaigners is pretty clear:
Leading the campaign is Roisin Therese who, with partner Toby Saltonstall, manages the nearby Dreadnought Pub, which also uses the bridge as its beer garden
