“That bridge is more of a hindrance than a help”

Thanks Karen.

Will it be down to one lane in each direction until some time in August?

Yes, contraflow in for up to 7 weeks. Let’s hope they get it done ahead of time.

Tbf Highways do usually oversubscribe for roadworks and if they do then finish early they give it the biggun and how well they did.

Under promise, over deliver.

An oft used but still potent strategy.

Yep, from Thursday.

If you thought today was bad, it was nothing compared to Thursday onwards, with the added excitement of the west bound entry slip road at Nacton being shut, so you’ll have to go down the A14 to Seven Hills and come back, or follow the official diversion from Sainsbury’s past Miller & Carter and past the crematorium to come at Seven Hills that way.

They are only doing one carriageway, expect a repeat thinks time next year when they repair the other one.

Took an hour & 40 minutes yesterday to get from Pinewood to Lowestoft

Is it still possible to walk over the bridge? Many moons ago I did just that and got lucky there was a big old freighter from Canada going under the bridge carrying timber and I got a cracking picture of it.

Thankfully I am in that there London tomorrow, so I won't experience the added giggles the rest of the closure will give.

Be sure to let me know...

Yep, did it about 3 months ago. A bit rubbish as there's loads of traffic, spray, noise and fumes. (*who knew)

Too about 15 mins. Public right of way that has footpaths at either end too.

You can try BUT my mate tried it 3 months ago on a walk to Felixstowe and he was stopped by police as they thought he was going to be a jumper.

Police stopped all the traffic which caused huge delays and let’s just say police were annoyed but not annoyed as much as the drivers, we found it hilarious.

Police annoyed at their own doings. It’s a public footpath.

it is, but too many people have jumped from the bridge, so if it gets called in theres someone on the bridge, theyll declare an incident, close it, and go deal with it.

because if they just ignored it, and it was someone who jumped, everyone would complain they werent doing their job properly.
