Another "major" milestone has been marked as the next sections of a long-awaited third crossing arrived in a coastal town.
The first two southern side sections of the £126.75m Gull Wing bridge arrived in Lowestoft on Sunday night (April 23).
The latest steel sections of the third crossing arrived via a barge from Belgium about 7.30pm.
One of the biggest cranes of its kind in the world had been set up for the arrival as South Approach Viaduct (SAV) sections 1 and 3 arrived at the construction site on Lake Lothing on a barge from Ghent in Belgium.
The steel spans being used in construction of the bridge - which is being delivered by Suffolk County Council and built by Farrans Construction - have been fabricated by Victor Buyck Steel Construction.
With SAV1 weighing 105 tonnes and measuring about 35 metres long, SAV3 is 41m long and weighs 213 tonnes.
The huge Terex Demag CC8800-1 crane - which has been installed on the southern side of Lake Lothing to move the sections - arrived from Copenhagen.
It has a maximum lifting capacity of 1,600 tonnes and is one of the largest crawler cranes in the world.
Now, with SAV3 to be offloaded first and placed on a temporary base, SAV1 will then be offloaded directly into position on the Southern Approach Abutment and Pier 1.
The barge will then sail back to Belgium to collect the other two southern sections of the bridge - SAV2 and SAV4 - in the coming days, subject to weather conditions.
It comes after the first section - North Approach Viaduct (NAV 1) - arrived in March last year and was lifted into place last October.
Work on the installation of NAV 2 and NAV 3 started at the end of last month and was completed in early April.
Simon Bretherton, Suffolk County Council project director, said: "The arrival of these next sections will see the structure take shape for the first time on both sides of Lake Lothing.
"This is another major step forward."
