Didn't know there was a swing bridge at Oulton Broad, I assume you mean Lothing and in any case I can't see it being much of an issue, and there's always YH. Stuff has to be maintaind so it doesn't break down and inconvenience mariners for longer periods, remember the hoo ha about Somerleyton, maybe if they had that off line for short periods there would not have been the lengthy issue with it.
