A new tolling system comes into force on the Humber Bridge this week – and fees will rise for the first time in 13 years.
The changes will be introduced when the toll booths close for the final time at midnight on Friday.
It means motorists will no longer be able to pay at a booth when crossing the bridge. Instead, they will have to pay in advance, or before midnight the day after their crossing, via a phone app or website.
There will also be options to pay by phone, or to pre-pay by cash or card at shops under the Paypoint scheme.
Prices for cars to cross the bridge will rise from £1.50 to £2 each way – though people with an account will save 25%. Those who fail to pay before or after crossing will be charged a £25 “administration” fee.
Bridge bosses say the new scheme will bring the Humber Bridge into line with other crossings in the UK.
We put key questions about the changes to the bridge’s board.
