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.
