The great width of the river had for many years prevented unified economic development between both sides of the river. This was one of the reasons a bridge was mentioned and planned. The bridge had been an idea for the area at least 100 years before it was finally planned and built to help stimulate industrial and commercial growth in the area. It was built 5 miles to the west of Hull between Hessle and Barton on Humber. Now economic activity around the Humber includes Industrial complexes such as:- Chemical Works, Power Stations, Oil Refineries and the combined ports in the estuary handle (which include Kingston upon Hull: Grimsby and Immingham) around 14% of the 's International Trade. The inland port of Goole (which is approximately 45 miles inland) on the River Ouse, owes it's growth to the formation of the canals, while the original growth of the major ports was mainly due to the railways.
