Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, for how long is half of the road carriageway area of the Humber Bridge to be cordoned off; and for what reason that cordoning has taken place.

The Humber Bridge Board is responsible for the management, operation and maintenance of the Humber Bridge, not this Department. I understand that the Board are currently replacing the A frames which connect the main span bridge deck to the towers at either end of the bridge. The Board say that they expect to remove the majority of the traffic lane restrictions by the end of March, with full completion of the works by early May.
