The 123yo bridge, which carries trains over the Yare as well as swinging open for the safe passage of larger boats, has been affected by problems with its central bearing this summer. The bearing forms part of the main pivot and supports the structure as it opens and closes.
A rail worker in high-visibility orange safety clothing uses a long-handled tool to secure components of the Reedham Swing Bridge mechanism after a bearing replacement. Railway tracks, tools and other maintenance workers are visible around the bridge machinery.

Repairs involved removing the old bearing and installing a new one as part of a complex programme of works. A new bearing was installed during the Aug BH weekend, with engineers completing testing & commissioning ahead of schedule to bring the bridge back into operation 🧑‍🔧
