I was about to ask how the that set up works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 Still waiting to go through Yarmouth. Any news on the bridge. Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 perhaps they will need to go via somerleyton and mutford instead - oh no- I forgot that route isnt an option at the moment either. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 they cant even go out through lowestoft at the moment either due to Somerleyton bridge being inoperable, all we can hope is that it raises awareness of the issues currently affecting the navigation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Bit in the EDP about the Haven Bridge problems, affecting Goodchilds as well http://www.edp24.co.uk/business/broken-bridge-blocking-ts-lord-nelson-and-costing-goodchild-marine-1-5578782 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I have also just seen seen it on ITV local news. They reckon the bridge will not open again until the engineers can be sure it is also going to shut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I would think that they built up their business in the days when the bridges would reliably lift when requested, with the expectation that this would continue. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same way as the yards at Reedham and Whitlingham, which used to do re-fits on oil rig supply ships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keifsmate Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I think British Sugar at Cantley would have had something to say about stuck bridges in the days of Blackheath and Rix Hawk delivering oil to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meantime Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I believe the sea scouts boat finally made it through Haven Bridge yesterday evening. Some 8 days of delay, going to be costly for someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
