First sections of Great Yarmouth bridge arrive by sea
- Published
Two giant lifting spans for a town's new £120m bridge have arrived by sea.
Herring Bridge will be Great Yarmouth's third crossing, linking the port area of the Norfolk town with the A47.
The lifting spans arrived from Belgium and Norfolk county councillor Graham Plant said they will be installed in two weeks' time.
Last month, a World War Two bomb was dredged from the river during construction work before it exploded while attempts were made to defuse it.
The bridge's two spans will be installed during a 72-hour window, with the River Yare blocked during this time.
It has been named the Herring Bridge, following a public vote.
