The Humber Bridge, near Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, England, is a km (2,430 yd; 7,300 ft; mi) single-span road suspension bridge, which opened to traffic on 24 June 1981. When it opened, the bridge was the longest of its type in the world; it was not surpassed until 1998, with the completion of the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge, and is now the eleventh-longest. It is still the second-longest span in the Western Hemisphere. The bridge spans the Humber (an estuary formed by the rivers Trent and Ouse), between Barton-upon-Humber on the south bank and Hessle on the north bank.
