I love going out at night and watching the swing bridge open, I find it peaceful to watch when there isn't much traffic.

I'm very glad I was able to get down there and record it open, because the bridge hadn't opened again until 6 days after I recorded this, and even when you do get an opening, they can come at very random times of the day.

Nice. Like Preston Dock swing bridge. Lowestoft bridge lifts up that's cool. And Reedham and Somerlayton are swing bridge's for trains.

Reminds me a lot of the swing bridge at Preston Docks; that one also tilts back slightly because it's pivot isn't in the centre

The last upgrade to a swing bridge I saw done I looked a the back of the new LED wigwag, manufactured by Dorman and supplied by NRS... Makes sense really, no need to have separate suppliers

I'm a bit confused; is it rarely open for boats or rarely open for cars?
@SouthEastLevelCrossings4 жыл бұрын
I was referring to the opening for boats, as I described the relatively uncommon occasion where the bridge is opened to let taller vessels into the harbour.

Newhaven's Port Authority often publish scheduled openings on their website on the 'Swing Bridge' page (not very far in advance though). Scheduled openings are also advertised on dot-matrix signs either side of the bridge operator's building.
