There is an image of the location on the Local List.
4. Works on Orwell Bridge - Highways England will be undertaking routine maintenance on Orwell Bridge commencing 1st Februrary for up to 4 weeks. This will involve work on the structure of the bridge around the pier tops.
Highways England will utilise debris netting to ensure the safety of river users and there will be no reduction to the bridge under clearance during these works. Additionally they have assessed the radiation hazard and there is no requirement to isolate vessel’s radar equipment. Therefore navigation of the River Orwell may continue as normal during this period.
