Bus Fire Shuts A15 Humber Bridge in Both Directions

The morning shutdown threatens major delays across Hull and North Lincolnshire.

Overview

  • The Humber Bridge, which carries the A15 over the Humber estuary, closed both ways Friday after a bus caught fire on the span.
  • Police said officers are assisting firefighters at the scene as emergency services manage the closure for public safety.
  • Traffic service INRIX reported queues between Barton and Hessle near the Humberfield Roundabout and urged drivers to seek other routes.
  • Authorities have not given a cause for the fire, reported any injuries, or set a time for reopening, with updates expected as the response continues.
  • Because the bridge is a key link between East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire, a full closure during rush hour can back up routes across Hull and the wider region.
