Overnight closures for Humber Bridge toll upgrade
Overnight tag lane closures are scheduled on the Humber Bridge as the project enters phase two of its toll system upgrade.
The New Tolling System (NTS) will see booths removed for the first time in the bridge's 44-year history, with payments being made through a website or app.
Work on the scheme began in March and the first phase of civil engineering works have now been completed.
The next phase involved installing a new gantry, meaning overnight tag lane closures will be in place from 20:00 BST on Thursday until 05:00 BST on Friday.
During the works, motorists would still be able to cross the bridge in either direction, with or without a HumberTag, but only using the toll booth lanes, a Humber Bridge spokesperson said.
They advised drivers to allow for extra time for their journey during these hours.
The scheme is expected to launch in late Autumn.

This is Celtic's first fixture since being crowned champions of Scotland once again with an impressive 5-0 victory over Dundee United last weekend. Advertisement CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW RANGERS VS CELTIC LIVE! Whilst it is the club's 55th title in their history and fourth in a row, they will not receive a guard of honour from Rangers before kick-off. Usually whenever a league title is won, in the very next game, the champions are clapped onto the pitch by the opposition but Barry Ferguson revealed that his side will not be following that tradition this afternoon. The decision could add spice to a fixture that has very little riding on it, aside from the usual bragging rights. Rangers have won the last two Old Firm derby meetings - including a 3-0 success at Ibrox at the beginning of the year - but go into this meeting in poor form as they are without a victory in their last five games across all competitions. Advertisement Celtic, meanwhile, have scored 15 goals in their last three outings and will be out to celebrate their latest title win in style. Here's everything you need to know about where to watch the game. How to watch Rangers vs Celtic TV channel: The game will be broadcast on Sky Sports.
