Page "Humber Bridge" Paragraph 0

The Humber Bridge, near Kingston upon Hull, England, is a 2, 220 m ( 2, 428 yards ) single-span suspension bridge, which opened to traffic on 24 June 1981.

It is the sixth-largest of its type in the world.

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 – both of which were previously in the non-metropolitan county of Humberside.
