Local residents took to Facebook group Spotted in Ely to comment on the latest spate of strikes. One called it the "Britney bridge — Hit me baby one more time" after the singer Britney Spears's hit single. And several added, sarcastically: "If only there was a warning sign". There is an alternative road and level crossing over the railway line, right next to the bridge. In previous years, lorries and large vans, including one carrying trays of tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables, have all got wedged beneath the bridge.
