good question there kind Sir, perhaps need to know what time the High Tide is forecast for ?

Boat blocks A12 - another innovative excuse!!

Seriously though - an expensive tethering error somewhere... hope they're insured for that...

That downhill stretch is jinxed for boat tows, there was an early Westerly neatly berthed up the bank about twenty yards before that same bridge, couple of years ago. I assume the wiggles start as soon as gravitational downhill acceleration begins, if it isn't checked very early.

It's clever that the newspaper can find a football connection in any story.
"People travelling towards Ipswich for today’s Ipswich Town v Reading match at 3pm were delayed"

And they kindly shut the A12 today to give it some tlc.,..

 

[Tam Lin]

And for the next few weekends I think! Mending the bridge on the Kelvedon by-pass.

So it delayed 4 people then!

Highways England:

We are repairing bridge joints on the A12 Ewell Bridge near Kelvedon. We will complete this works over the weekends between Saturday 4 February and Monday 6 March. The closure will start on a Saturday evening to Monday morning. To keep road users at safe distance from works bridge will be closed to pedestrians and divers. Drivers will be diverted to take the A120 westbound to Braintree, then take the A131 southbound through Great Notley, then take the A130 southbound and then east around Chelmsford to re-join the A12.

I'm glad they closed it to divers.
