One of the piers supporting the central span of the Orwell Bridge, viewed through the adjacent pair of piers. It can be seen from this view that the two carriageways of the bridge are in fact separate decks, inches apart.
The Orwell Bridge :: TM1741

The Orwell Bridge was opened to road traffic in 1982 and carries the A14 (then A45) over the River Orwell just south of Ipswich in Suffolk, England.
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 from Wherstead to the site of the former Ipswich Airport. The width is 24 metres with a height of 43 metres.
