The
Humber Bridge, near Kingston upon Hull, England, is a 2,220 m (7,283
ft) single-span suspension bridge, which opened to traffic on 24 June
1981. It is the fifth-largest of its type in the world. It spans the
Humber (the estuary formed by the rivers Trent and Ouse) between
Barton-upon-Humber on the south bank and Hessle on the
north bank,
connecting the East Riding of
Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire. As of 2006,
the bridge carried an
average of 120,000 vehicles per week.[1] The toll is £3.00 each way for cars (higher for
commercial vehicles), which makes it the most expensive toll crossing in the
United Kingdom.
