Orwell Crossing?

A pamphlet from the Suffolk CC arrived in my letter box this morning and I thought you lot might find it interesting; there is a survey too.

I note that they are being rather vague about the clearance that will available on Crossing A. To my mind, the bridge will need at least 26m clear of the water not to restrict the river traffic unduly. Such a bridge would require extensive ramps.
