Chelsea14Ian Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I posted photos last week of the new bridge in Great Yarmouth. Known as the Herring Bridge.It appears that when closed, its 9 inches short in the middle.Due to the cost of the bridge,it been suggested that traffic travel at 35mph to get over the gap. So mind the gap! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MargeandParge Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Is that just enough gap for a good sailor to get the mast through without opening it. Kindest Regards Marge and Parge 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucket Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I understand it is going to cost £5.00 to cross the bridge, £10.00 if crossing overnight! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeePee1952 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Rumour has it that the 9" is to allow for expansion when subjected to adverse summer hot weather thereby negating the possibility of failure that often affects the Reedham and Somerleyton bridges Chris 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
