  • The Humber Bridge, near Kingston upon Hull, England, is a 2,220 metres single-span suspension bridge, which opened to traffic on 24 June 1981. It is the seventh-longest of its type in the world. It spans the Humber 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 briefly in the short-lived non-metropolitan county of Humberside. As of 2006, the bridge carried an average of 120,000 vehicles per week; this compares unfavourably with the Forth Road Bridge which carries over 60,000 vehicles each day. The toll was £3.00 each way for cars, which made it the most expensive toll crossing in the United Kingdom. As of 1 April 2012, the toll was reduced to £1.50 each way after the UK government cut £150 million from the bridge's current debt. Wikipedia
