Saturday's Felixstowe Breakfast Briefing
Saturday's on this day:
In 1982,The Orwell Bridge was completed. The bridge is constructed of concrete box girders that allow movement for expansion and contraction. The main span is 190 metres which, at the time of its construction, was the longest pre-stressed concrete span in use. The total length is 1,287 metres. The width is 24 metres with an Air Draft of 43 metres. Pilings were sunk 40 metres into the river bottom. The Department of Transport funded the project and, partially due to the bridge, paid for radars and cameras to be installed at the port’s Orwell Navigation Service to monitor the river and the bridge.

Joke of the day:
Three sisters, Holly had a size 11 shoe, Mary, size 12 and Fannie, size 13.
Holly and May go to a pub and the landlord explained: "Wow, what big feet you have."
The sisters reply: "These are nothing - you ought to see our Fannie's."
