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

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.
Friday 26th – Monday 29th April: M180 Closure Between Junctions 2 and 3
National Highways are continuing their essential repairs on the M180 Mutton Lane Bridge (near Outmill) this weekend. This will require a full closure of the M180 in BOTH directions between Junctions 2 and 3, starting at 8pm on Friday 26th April and continuing through the weekend until Monday 29th April at 6am.
Fully signed diversions will be in place, and details of these can be found at National Highways’ website via the following link. https://nationalhighways.co.uk/our-roads/yorkshire-and-north-east/yorkshire-and-north-east-maintenance-schemes/
Please note that the Humber Bridge is NOT part of the official diversion route. However, if you are planning to cross the Bridge this weekend please be mindful that there may be a significant increase of traffic in the area. Please check Google Maps, or a similar traffic app, for guidance before setting off and allow extra time for your journey.
