Hull City Council has announced two weekend closures for North Bridge.
The council is set to close North Bridge for two weekends to allow essential resurfacing works to take place, ensuring the bridge remains safe and operational.
This work aims to repair areas of deteriorated road surfacing ahead of the additional traffic expected during the upcoming Drypool Bridge closure, which is due to start mid-late May 2026.
By completing the repairs now, it will prevent the damaged areas from worsening, which could otherwise lead to an unplanned closure later in the year.
To maintain safety for both the contractor and the travelling public, the bridge will be closed to all road users, cyclists, and emergency vehicles, on the following weekends -
- From 6am Saturday 21 March until 6am Monday 23 March
- From 6am Saturday 11 April until 6am Monday 13 April
Throughout the closures, a diversion route will be in place via Drypool Bridge.
The footpaths on North Bridge will remain operational, maintaining access for pedestrians.
The council encourages road users to plan their journeys in advance, follow the official diversion route, and allow extra travel time throughout the closure periods.
Councillor Mark Ieronimo, portfolio holder for transport and infrastructure at Hull City Council, said -
“With the increased volume of traffic that will use North Bridge as part of the diversion and designated bus route during the upcoming Drypool Bridge closure, these works are essential to ensure the bridge remains safe and operational.
“By repairing the deteriorated areas now, we can prevent them from worsening and avoid a much more disruptive, unplanned closure in the future.
“We understand the inconvenience these weekend closures will cause and appreciate the public’s patience and cooperation whilst our contractors carry-out these vital works.”
This scheme will be carried out by Midland Industrial Flooring Limited in conjunction with the council’s bridges team, and Ashcourt Limited.
Please be aware that the dates for this scheme are weather dependent and subject to change.
