This Thursday night (30th March 2023) we will be carrying some investigations on the bridge using a convoy of vehicles. This is so we can measure how the bridge reacts under this load and is part of a planned inspection and maintenance program. . 

The convoy of vehicles will travel across the bridge and at set points specialist measuring equipment will tell our team what is happening. This data will then be processed and will be used as part of the future inspection and maintenance program.

The work will be carried out late on Thursday night, when traffic is minimal, and will require a single lane at a time. This means that you will be able to cross the Bridge as normal. However, if you are using the Bridge on Thursday night, please keep an eye out for these slow moving vehicles.

We will be carrying out overnight works on the Bridge from Monday to Thursday (20th – 23rd March).

The current lane closure northbound will remain in place for the remainder of this week and all of Monday (20th March 2023).

From Tuesday – Thursday there will be overnight lane closures in place between 7pm and 5am. The Northbound Tag lane will be closed on Wednesday and the Southbound Tag lane will be closed Thursday during this time – please note that HumberTag customers can still use the Toll Booths. 

During these times we will undertake a variety of essential maintenance activities including: new white lining on the road surface, repairs to crash barriers, road lighting upgrades, drain cleaning and replacement of a bearing to the bridge deck.

To ensure the safety of both the workforce and drivers, there will be lane closures in both directions which will change each night as the work progresses.

You will still be able to cross the Bridge.

There is a significant chance that the Humber Bridge will close to all traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists tomorrow (Friday, Feb 18) as the Met Office is forecasting winds in excess of 80mph.

On a Saturday night in October, we will be closing the Humber Bridge completely to carry out vital maintenance work.

The exact date has yet to be decided and will be based on weather conditions, but as soon as we have identified the best weekend to carry out the work, we will let you know on here and on our social media channels.
