It seems to be operating again now. I saw the post earlier and looked at Marinetraffic.com. There were 2 ships in Ridham Docks. One is now heading along the Swale towards Queenborough. I guess they may have been reluctant to open the bridge in the mid day sun.

A known problem for years.
They used to leave a water pump running flooding the roadway to keep it cool.
