It raises more often than people realise and nearly always when I have to drive to work but the kings ferry bridge is just more convenient for where I have to drive lol
Very nice of an impressive structure which only operates not very often how did you know it would operate today and also I think I saw that tanker off Herne Bay earlier today that same one
Thanks, I saw the boat on marine traffic was due in this morning. The tides play a key role because larger boats can only go in the dock 4 hours before and 1 hour after high tide.
Excellent video. Lucky to catch this in operation as I believe it rarely lifts (?), and it's great to see a video of the bridge lifting!
Thanks! It raises for large boats like this one maybe 3-8 times a week but it also raises for small sailing boats.

Nice repaint of the gates, are the vertical wig-wags still there?
Ah yes they are! I should have included them in the video.
Why can't the 'bridge be lifted until the train has passed'?
Probably if the driver hasn't put his brakes fully he is slowly moving towards the egde
