Looking at the suggested bridge style, and the location, presumably
there will be a resulting saving from never opening Tower Bridge

How often does it open these days, anyway?


I don't know the current frequency, but I believe it is manned 24/7 and
maintained to allow for opening at any time, but normally vessels have to
give 24 hours notice. They have cruise ships and other warships moored
alongside the Belfast fairly regularly.
