Hundreds of homes have moved a step closer to being protected from flooding after the start of riverbed investigations.
Work began on Monday, February 1, as part of the Lowestoft Flood Risk Management Project, which will see up to 40m deep test holes drilled into the riverbed at the harbour entrance, east of the bascule bridge.
The work, which is expected to last around the clock for four weeks, will provide information on the ground structure to help design the foundations of the tidal barrier.
