A routine inspection will take place on Hessle Road flyover later this month, to ensure its continued safety and reliability.
Hull City Council’s bridges team will be carrying out a principal inspection on the Hessle Road flyover, which crosses the railway lines operated by Network Rail.
These inspections are a vital part of maintaining the city’s transport infrastructure and are conducted every six years to assess structural integrity and safety.
To minimise disruption, and to keep traffic flowing, the inspection will be completed overnight across two consecutive weekends:
- Westbound road closure from 00:30am until 5am on Sunday 23 November
- Eastbound road closure from 11pm on Saturday 29 November until 6am on Sunday 30 November
During these periods, signed diversion routes and traffic management will be in place to ensure the safety of the engineers and the travel public.
The findings from this inspection will feed into the development of the structure’s future strengthening and repair scheme.
Councillor Mark Ieronimo, portfolio holder for transport and infrastructure at the council, said: “Routine inspections like this are vital for maintaining the safety and reliability of our transport infrastructure.
“Our bridges team are working hard to keep the flyover operational whilst we plan for future strengthening works, which will ensure the flyover’s long-term resilience.
“I’m pleased that this inspection has been scheduled overnight, across two consecutive weekends, to reduce the impact on road users and pedestrians.
“However, I appreciate that this is still going to cause some disruption and thank everyone for their patience.”
