Hull City Council needs to carry out structural investigations on the Sutton Road Bridge to ensure its continued safety for traffic.
In order for engineers to carry out the essential checks, the bridge must be kept in the “open to river traffic” position for up to five days, during which time it will be closed to road users and pedestrians
The work will take place between Wednesday 31 August and Sunday 4 September.
The nearest alternative River Hull crossings are Ennerdale Bridges on the A1033 Raich Carter Way in Kingwood, and the Stoneferry Bridges on Ferry Lane.
Andy Burton, the council’s Assistant Director (Streetscene), said: “The council carries out regular structural assessments to make sure our bridges continue to be safe for all road users.
“Unfortunately, the Sutton Road Bridge will need to be closed for a few days for these checks to be carried out.
“We know this will cause some short-term inconvenience and we apologise for this.
“If you have any questions about this scheme, please contact our bridges team on 01482 300300, or email us at bridge.manager@hullcc.gov.uk.”
Mason Clark Associates will be carrying out the work on behalf of the council.
