No northbound access to Humber Bridge after Hessle incident

Northbound traffic was unable to access the humber bridge on Tuesday 5 May after an incident linked to the Wingfield Farm roundabout in Hessle. Humber Bridge officials said the closure was affecting all northbound access while emergency services were on scene working to resolve the situation.

The update gave no timeframe for when access would be restored. For drivers heading north, the practical impact was immediate: all northbound entry points to the bridge were affected at once.

The disruption was tied to the incident at the Wingfield Farm roundabout in Hessle, placing the problem away from the bridge deck itself and at a nearby junction feeding traffic toward it. That left the northbound route unavailable while crews dealt with the scene.

Officials issued the update on Tuesday 5 May and said emergency services were working to resolve the situation. They did not provide a restoration time, leaving the northbound side closed without a schedule for reopening.

All northbound access was affected, not just a single approach lane or one access point. That meant drivers could not treat the bridge as a usable northbound crossing until the incident at Hessle was cleared.

For people planning to cross that direction, the only operational fact to rely on was the closure itself. The bridge remained inaccessible northbound while emergency services stayed on scene.
