City centre bridge to close for repair works
A bridge across the River Hull will be closed at the weekend for repair work.
North Bridge in the city centre will close from 06:00 BST on Saturday 17 May to 06:00 on Monday 19 May.
Work includes essential resurfacing and waterproofing works "to ensure the structure remains safe for road users", Hull City Council said.
The council added that the work was also part of preparing the road to handle diverted traffic ahead of the upcoming six-month closure of Drypool Bridge for major repair and strengthening work.
Pedestrians and cyclists will still be able to use the bridge during the work, but motorists will be diverted over Drypool Bridge.
Councillor Mark Ieronimo, cabinet portfolio holder for transportation, roads and highways at Hull City Council, said: "Due to the increased traffic volume that will be passing over North Bridge as the diversion and dedicated bus route during the Drypool Bridge closure, these works are essential to maintain the integrity of North Bridge throughout this period.
"We understand the inconvenience this closure will cause and appreciate the public's patience and cooperation whilst our contractors carry-out these vital works."
