Having challenged myself to photograph this huge structure in a 'different' manner to my
previous attempt, I found myself under the largest concrete span of the bridge and up to my
ankles in mud. When built in 1982, the bridge that carries the A1214 over the River Orwell at
Ipswich had the longest pre-stressed concrete span in use anywhere. I don't find it a
particularly beautiful bridge, but it's a distinctive landmark in a county that otherwise lacks
grand architecture.
Suffolk also has no motorways, the A12 to Lowestoft and the A14 from Felixstowe to the
Midlands being our only major roads. But thankfully, and largely because of the Orwell
Bridge, the freight traffic from Felixstowe to London is not going to get a Suffolk motorway to
thunder down any time soon. Besides, a lot of it goes by rail, past our house...all through the
night....
