A 30mph speed restriction for all vehicles is in place on the Humber Bridge this morning (Wednesday, April 1). This is due to high winds, which are continuing to affect driving conditions throughout the area. Yesterday, the Humber Bridge was shut for more than two hours following a crash involving a lorry and a van, causing long delays for drivers. Forecasters say the winds are expected to ease during the day.
