Humber bridge
The humber bridge was the last great bridge to be built in the UK and spans the humber estury near Hull. It is over 1.4km in total. 

In 1959 the first humber bridge act was passed by parliament with the Government deciding in 1969 that the bridge was to be built.  Financing was agreed by 1971 and the detailed design began. Building work began in 1972 on the south approach road with the main sub structure underway by 1973.  By May 1974 the north tower was completed and 1976 the south tower completed. Cabling took 2 years from 1977 to 1979 with the box sections being erected from 1979 to 1980. 

On 24th June 1981 the bridge opened to traffic, with he official opening by H.M. The Queen on 17th July 1981.

The bridge is one of the worlds longest single span suspension bridges. An exhilaratingwalk or cycle ride across the Bridge with panoramic views of North Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire is not to be missed
