- I wanted to capture the final moments of construction of the Gull Wing Bridge in preparation of its planned public opening in late summer 2024.
Once it finally opens, I wanted to have a document for people to look back on.
Camera Used - Panasonic HC-VXF990. 4K Video Camera.
Enjoy
Impressive bridge wow looks like they got some competition up the road at Yarmouth 😊
It's pretty impressive to look at but whether it solves congestion issues in the town will be the big question.
@@ReelFilm2016 Depends which 'town' you are referring to. For Lowestoft town centre, it probably won't make much difference. It's Oulton Broad where the most difference will be seen, I hope. Also, might even make a difference at the St. Olaves crossing.
I no longer live in Lowestoft, but do travel back a few times a year to visit family, and I have to decide from many miles back which route I will take. I expect many other drivers of cars and freight will also benefit.
I do hope they get around to opening it soon - it looks like it's been finished for ages from everything I can see.
Have you put a pound coin under the balance arms yet and seen what happens to it yet‽
You would hope so 😀
Not sure I'd make the nazi connection. Most concrete defensive structures look heavier set than that, and the nazi structures in the channel islands were predominantly curved to deflect incoming fire. Its not a very elegant structure, they could have designed it with a bit more grace.
Who is paying for that, buddy?
I like it, but it looks expensive.😂
I decided to pay for it. Had just about enough.
UK taxpayers
And as for the design of that control tower, all slotted windows and blank slab walls, you know what I'm going to say now, don't you?
Bit too reminiscent of the Nazi watch towers and gun emplacements on the Channel Islands for my liking.
