"The package of new river crossings to be built in the next five to 10
years will vastly improve travel across the capital, while supporting
new affordable homes and business opportunities in East London.

Affordable homes and business opportunities on the bridge. That's a
throwback the Mediaeval times. Perhaps we could also arrange to have
criminals' heads mounted on stakes at either end too.

Huh? Who said anything about homes and business opportunities on the
bridge?

try "supporting" (new affordable homes)

In East London, not *on* the bridge.

That would be enabling; bridges support things *on the bridge*.

That's why their supports are called... err... supports.
