GRAHAM has completed work on the A47 Breydon Bridge in Great Yarmouth.

Commencing on the 04 September 2022 and successfully concluding on the 31 October 2023, the project has become a shining example of excellence in collaboration, innovation, and sustainability.

With an estimated value of £7.5 million, the scheme was led by GRAHAM working in collaboration with National Highways and contractors Safety Engineering Standards (SES) and Atkins.

Nestled between the Acle New Road roundabout and the Pasteur Road roundabout along the A47, Breydon Bridge, posed unique challenges. This project required a specialised supply chain to successfully execute the refurbishment and modernisation of mechanical and electrical operating equipment.

With the collaborative expertise of GRAHAM, SES and Atkins, the scheme aimed not only to address the complexities of the task at hand but also improve Breydon Bridge overall functionality and efficiency.

The Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) phase, conducted in advance of the site phase, saw a collaboration of minds to seek optimal solutions and requirements.

The engagement of key stakeholders, including Norfolk County Council, local marine-based businesses, and the wider community, was crucial. This ensured a harmonious coexistence with other concurrent projects such as the Third River Crossing and Harfreys Refurbishment.
