Humber Bridge Tolls Updated: Essential Questions Addressed
A new tolling system has been introduced for the Humber Bridge, marking significant changes in how motorists will pay for crossing. This update is the first fee increase in 13 years and comes into effect with the closure of toll booths at midnight on Friday.
Humber Bridge Tolls Updated: Payment Methods and Fee Changes
Under the new system, drivers will no longer have the option to pay cash at toll booths. Instead, they must pay in advance or settle their tolls before midnight the day after their crossing. Payments can be made using a mobile app or online through the designated website.
Payment Options
In addition to app and online payments, there are several alternative methods available:
- Pay by phone.
- Pre-pay at participating shops via the Paypoint scheme.
- Cash or card payments at specific retail locations.
New Fee Structure
The toll for cars crossing the bridge will increase from £1.50 to £2 each way. However, motorists who set up an account can enjoy a 25% discount on their toll fees.
It is important to note that drivers who do not comply with the new payment regulations will incur a £25 “administration” fee. This penalty will be applied if payment is not made either in advance or by the following midnight after crossing.
Alignment with Other UK Crossings
Officials have stated the new tolling scheme is designed to align the Humber Bridge with other major crossings throughout the UK. The goal is to streamline the payment process and improve efficiency.
For more information and specific queries regarding the changes, updates can be found on El-Balad. The board of the Humber Bridge remains available to address any key concerns.
