Justice Is Done!

[Baitrunner]

Sorry but couldn't resist this. 

Just heard Haven bridge is stuck open!!!!

I do have the deepest sympathy for anyone driving who is caught up in the rush hour mayhem, but after recent events (well since Feb) and all the problems boaters have had its time for the commuters to feel the pain. 

Wonder if they will complain? 

Im in the bistro at brundall after a day of cleaning with a cold beer and pizza on order. Life doesnt get better.

as I said, sorry if you got caught in the traffic at GY tonight

Two in two days. Somerleyton bridge was also stuck open yesterday. They implemented a rail replacement bus until it was fixed. Rumour has it they had a little trouble getting the bus service up and running as all the busses were still fitted with Winter tyres.

That's terrible!

Just remember this if you have a property or anything in that area and needed the fire service that could make the difference and even more so if you need an ambulance.

[grendel]

maybe now the boot is on the other foot they will get the maintenance required done.

I suspect half the Brundall navy are heading that way.

If traffic is being inconvenienced as well as boats perhaps it may actually get properly repaired.

Maybe Robin could mudweight independence under it and salute the bridge crew.

I seriously doubt it would make a significant difference to the emergency services. They know the workaround.

Great idea, I'll give them the odd salute too   Let me see now, how many fingers to use?

It always amazes me how gridlocked traffic can move to let a blue light through.

If Robin is onboard we can be there in 3 hrs  assuming the other 2 in the way work

Just heard on The Beach Radio station that it is stuck open by three inches!!!! So closed to all I'm afraid. Might still concentrate the minds of the relevant authorities mind you!

Im all for the railway bridges getting stuck but problems with the road bridges will cause misery, traffic gets bad enough in the area as it is!

[BroadAmbition]

3 x Hrs - He'll do it much quicker than that from Brundall to GYA.  With the throttles open we can tsunami over Reedham / Breydon

If a moveable bridge fails someone is inconvenienced,  be that boats,  cars or trains. The obvious solution is to fix and maintain them.

[Chelsea14Ian]

Let's hope the powers that be, work on a solution to this long standing problem.

[BroadAmbition]

And a huge fine to prove  it   that post Smell's of sour grapes to be honest

But of course - deadly serious I was RC  despite the inclusion of a - Still am! You can choose to smell it in what ever way pleases you most

(or even CHG if you prefer)

I saw that thread on the NBN FB esterday but it was early doors so missed all the digs / nastiness I heard was aimed at him.

Anyroadup, I digress, back to wedging up Haven Bridge until they promise to get some preventative proper maintenance done, not fix and make do / bodge it!

It's ok it's sorted now, they have found a roll of gaffer tape and put it over the 3" gap.

Annoyingly for the cars stuck there's probably bigger potholes on the approach to the bridge.

[ScrumpyCheddar]

Brilliant news ha ha ha.... what goes around comes around.... justice is sweet..... ha ha ha....

Anyone got any pics of it stuck open....

.....

Oh if anyone’s stuck they can always take the train......
