Humber Bridge
The
Humber Bridge
, near
Kingston upon Hull
, England, is a single-span
suspension bridge
, which opened to traffic on 24 June 1981. It was the longest of its type in the world when opened, and is now the
seventh-longest
. 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
. When it opened in 1981 both sides of the bridge were in the
non-metropolitan county
of
Humberside
until its dissolution in 1996. The bridge itself can be seen for miles around and as far as
Ottringham
in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
