Though the crossing will be closed to road traffic, footpaths will remain open. A signed diversion will be place for road users via Clough Road and Ferry Lane.

Councillor Mark Ieronimo, portfolio holder for transportation, roads, and highways at Hull City Council, said: “We understand that this is a popular route for road users, but it is crucial that these inspections are conducted, to ensure the continued safety and reliability of the structure.

“While I recognise the inconvenience these closures may cause, I am pleased that it has been possible to schedule them overnight to minimise disruption.

“Thank you, in advance, to residents and road users for their patience, understanding and cooperation whilst we carry out this crucial work.”
