SPEED LIMITS
SPEED LIMITS MAY VARY DEPENDING ON ROAD WORKS.
Southbound: When exiting the roundabout the current speed limit is 40mph. As the Open Road Toll lane approaches the speed limit decreases to 30mph through the toll plaza, as you reach the main flow of the Humber Bridge the speed limit increases to 50mph until the exit onto the national speed limit dual carriageway.
Northbound: When travelling from the A15 dual carriageway, the national speed limit applies. As you approach the Humber Bridge the speed limit decreases to 50mph, upon reaching the northside as the Open Road Toll lane approaches the limit decreases again to 30mph, once you’ve passed through the toll plaza the speed limit increases to 40mph leading on to the roundabout.

LIVE TRAFFIC INFORMATION
Live traffic information, along the approach to the bridge, is supplied by National Highways. Road users are provided with information about road conditions, providing advanced warning of roadworks, accidents, bad weather conditions, and road closures.
CURRENT OR UPCOMING MAINTENANCE WORKS
The Humber Bridge is over 40 years old and was designed to last for 120 years. As the bridge approaches the second part of its design life it requires more maintenance work to be completed.
Occasionally the maintenance tasks we carry out whilst caring for the Bridge require us to close parts to traffic or pedestrians. We may have to introduce traffic controls. We aim to keep disruption to a minimum, scheduling works for off-peak times. Scheduled maintenance activities, including any partial closures of the Humber Bridge, are listed below.
Monday 9th – Friday 13th June
Daytime Closures (10am-2pm)
This week, from Monday 9th June to Friday 13th June, we will be intermittently closing toll booths on both the Northbound and Southbound Carriageways. The temporary closures are for safety reasons and allow us to continue to carry out works in preparation for the roll out of the New Tolling System, due in Autumn. Whilst we have tried to minimise the impact by doing this work outside of peak times, we want to apologise in advance for any delays this may cause. Please note, that the daytime works do not affect the tag lanes and would advise as many customers as possible to use those lanes.
Nighttime Closures (8pm-6am)
We have planned overnight works on the bridge this week to prepare for the rollout of the New Tolling System. From 8pm to 6am on the nights of Tuesday 10th, Wednesday 11th, and Thursday 12th June, the Tag lanes will be closed (ending Friday morning). In addition, starting tonight (9th June) and continuing each night through to Friday 13th June, we will intermittently close toll booths on both the Northbound and Southbound carriageways between 8pm and 6am. These temporary closures are necessary for safety reasons. During these works, you will still be able to cross the bridge in either direction, whether or not you have a HumberTag. However, only the toll booth lanes will be available for crossing, so please allow extra time for your journey if you’re travelling during these periods. We apologise for any inconvenience caused to HumberTag customers.
Our colleagues are there to assist you, so please treat them with respect.
