Orwell bridge likely to be shut on Friday? 17:48 - Oct 21 with 1199 viewsDBaldy

Just seen the weather forecast - winds of 30-50 mph with gusts up to 65mph on Friday evening. I believe the threshold for it being shut is 50mph?

Could make for an interesting / very annoying journey for a lot of us given how town pretty much grinds to a halt after every match anyway.

60mph is the closure level.

BBC predicting up to 43mph in that area so hopefully will be ok.

That has to be the worst nickname in football. I’m no fan of the Tractor Boys but it’s nowhere near that bad.

depends on the wind direction on the bridge, but the forecast will change as it gets closer. the metoffice is already just showing a max 46mph gusts. the wind speed is slightly different on the bridge due to the elevation. but probably just speed restrict it.

I was more bothered about spending another 40mins standing in a queue to get in again, whilst its raining.

When they can, they just reduce the speed limit to 40 instead of closing it completely.
