BroadAmbition Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Emergency vehicles would have the same issue no matter what time of day the Bridge lifts Anyroadup I have been on to the bridge control and they now hope to open Haven Bridge at 1015 fingers crossed. AIS will be enabled just before Oh and BTW I’m not onboard but in Donny at work Griff 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnygeoff Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 3 minutes ago, 40something said: I can understand why they cant lift the bridges in rush hour, what if you gridlock Yarmouth and then an emergency vehicle cant get through etc, lives could be at stake. So frustrating for Robin though but hopefully they will be through soon. I can understand and totally agree. But, why did they let Indy book the lift at that time, when they knew they would not open it. Come on Robin, AIS please..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanessan Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 We really have been spoilt with all the videos, photos and write-ups. Thank you to all those who have kept forum members up to date with events, it has made it all the more interesting for the rest of us. I’m glad they are nearly there, I was beginning to feel a bit queasy with the swell of the past couple of days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranger Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 hmmm strange there are no bookings for the Haven Bridge to be raised today according to bridge control? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpy Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 A mate lives on Cobholm (turn right at the Two Bears) , he says if anything big and slow goes through it can take up to half an hour to clear the gridlock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizG Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I suspect somewhere in the depths of this thread, my question has been answered but does Indy need both bridges to open at low tide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
