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.
From Monday 10th November to Thursday 13th November we will be carrying out overnight maintenance works on the toll plaza between 7pm and 5am. These works will involve pressure washing and the installation of new CCTV.
The works will be undertaken in a manner that aims to minimise disruption to bridge users and the surrounding community as much as possible. Due to the nature of these activities, noise levels will be lower than those experienced this week. We will begin near Hessle and progress southwards, aiming to be past the toll booths by 10pm.
The works are as follows:
- Monday 10/11 – There will be a lane closure Southbound up to and after the toll booths
- Tuesday 11/11 – Same as above and the Southbound Taglane will be closed, there will also be a lane closure Northbound
- Wednesday 12/11 – The Taglanes will be closed in both directions
- Thursday 13/11 – There will be a lane closure Northbound
You will still be able to cross the bridge at all times, however, please follow all traffic management and signage. When the Taglanes are closed, HumberTag customers will be filtered through the toll booths.
Drivers are urged to allow extra time for their journey in order to minimise any potential disruptions.
We know that delays on the bridge can be frustrating, but ask that you remember our colleagues are here to help so please treat them with respect. For the latest updates, please follow us on social media or by checking www.humberbridge.co.uk/news.
