Its not known how long the bridge will be closed for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Thanks for that, I'm heading down there in a couple weeks so will need to be moored on the southwold side then. (or can barriers be climbed over?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 The ferry is now down to weekends only but will be a daily service over half term holidays. It then closes for winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveRolaves Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 The ferry is still running to transport people across the river as a result of an agreement with the highways authority. There is now a notice on the bridge to say that it will be closed until at least April next year. The notice states that the problem is with corroded steel supports which hold up the walkway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 It's long been a Christmas tradition that Walberswick people walk off their excesses and visit the pubs of Southwold whilst Southwold folk, and even a few extra ones from Oulton Broad, visit Walberswick. Either the Ferry will do a roaring trade or that's one less pub crawl this Christmas!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
