Lowestoft Bascule bridgee

[Portland Billy]

Does anyone know the air draught clearance of this bridge at mean low water.
Is it possible to transit at nine foot air draught without needing an opening?
Coming from the Broads to sea via Mitford Lock. Gt Yarmouth is not an option.

East Coast Pilot page 21 says '2.2m clearance at MHW springs (approx 2.4m on the tide gauge) with a reduction of 0.5m for the arch edges'.

Lowestoft is also not an option at the moment, as Mutford Lock is out of action until March 25, undergoing repairs / maintenance.
