	River Humber Estuary, River Humber Bridge, RiverHumber.com
		The Humber is a North Sea inlet on the East coast of England and it is one of the major deepwater estuaries in the U.K. The deepwater channel is 22 miles (35 kms.) long from the open sea at Spurn Point to Kingston Upon Hull.
		The Humber is a large tidal estuary and extremely turbid, the estuary has a brown appearance due to this high turbidity, and is often thought of as a dirty river.
		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.

	Humber Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Humber Bridge is the fourth-largest single-span suspension bridge in the world, near Kingston upon Hull in England.
		The bridge's surface takes the form of a dual carriageway with a lower-level footpath on both sides, although traffic is often restricted to one lane both ways.
		The bridge held the record for the world's longest single-span suspension bridge for 16 years from its opening in June 1981 until the opening of the Great Belt Bridge in June 1997 and was relegated to third place with the opening of the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge in April 1998.

	Humber Suspension Bridge
		The Humber Bridge, which was completed in 1981, held the record for the longest span in the world.
		It's record wasn't broken until 1998 when the Storebelt and the East Bridge, Denmark was completed.
		The Humber Bridge is truly a work of art, with a main span length of 4,624 ft. The Humber Bridge still holds the record for the longest single span suspension bridge in the world.

	Humber Bay Arch Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Humber Bay Arch Bridge (also known as the Humber River Arch Bridge, the Humber River Pedestrian Bridge, or the Gateway Bridge) is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge south of Lake Shore Boulevard West in Toronto, Canada.
		Completed in the mid-1990s, the bridge is 139 metres in length, with a clear span of 100 metres over the mouth of the Humber River to protect the environmental integrity of the waterway.
		The bridge connects the former municipalities of "Old Toronto" and Etobicoke (both now part of the almagamated City of Toronto) along an ancient aboriginal trading route along the shore of Lake Ontario, and thus features design elements and decorations such as carved turtles and canoes that evoke this native heritage.

	The Humber Bridge Board - Explore the Bridge - Construction History
		For a long time the Humber Estuary was a barrier to trade and development between the two banks and local interests campaigned for over 100 years for the construction of a bridge or tunnel across the estuary.
		Approval for the construction of a suspension bridge was granted in 1959 with the passing of the Humber Bridge Act and the creation of the Humber Bridge Board, although it was not until 1973 that work finally began.
		Firstly the Humber has a shifting bed and navigable channel along which a craft can travel is always changing; a suspension bridge with no support piers in mid-stream would not obstruct the estuary.

		The bridge is formed from identical aluminium extrusions laminated together to form a continuous deck in a novel way, and has the benefit of no secondary structure or added finishes, reducing costs and minimising maintenance requirements.
		The bridges carry both road and rail traffic in a double-decker arrangement, and we assisted in the development of appropriate traffic, wind and temperature loading models and advised on the design criteria on behalf of the Hong Kong Highways Department.
		This record breaking super-long hybrid cable stayed suspension bridge with a proposed main span of 2300 metres is the result of a feasibility study and design development work which we are undertaking for the project's developers.

		Continue along the bank and under the Humber bridge roadway and notice on your left the anchorage block for the cables.
		The old bridge was much nearer the town than the new bridge but this new location gives a fine view of the boats in the boat works and also easier access from the river bank on the west of the haven to the east side.

	The Humber Bridge
		Paradoxically, since the Humber Bridge was conceived during the Hull North bye-election, this whole controversy became a major issue in the Grimsby by-election of 1976.
		The superstructure of the bridge was a very innovative design and the Institution of Structural Engineers made a special award to Freeman Fox in recognition of the refinements on suspension bridge design and innovations in the treatment of foundations and towers.
		Another objection to the bridge is concerned with its relevance to the transport infrastructure of the sub-region.

		Longer than the famous Golden Gate Bridge which is the pride of San Francisco, the Humber Bridge links the North and South Banks of the Humber Estuary.
		It’s the longest suspension bridge in the country, it is as delicate as a spider’s web and as strong as the steel it’s made from.
		Apart from the brilliance of its engineering, its elegant statement in the landscape, if the East Riding is where you live, the Humber Bridge lightens the heart and lifts the spirits; when one is approaching, it says 'home'; if you foolishly live elsewhere, the Bridge may bring you optimism that you are leaving the area.

		The Humber Forum’s Board has decided to take no action to campaign for the abolition or reduction of Humber Bridge tolls.
		This follows the conclusion of consultants Steer Davies Gleave that although the Humber Bridge is a major asset for the area, the case for the abolition or reduction of tolls is weak on economic and financial grounds.
		The Humber Forum commissioned the major ten-month study in 2003 to investigate the possible economic impacts of the Humber Bridge tolls.

		Most of the weight of the bridge is carried by the cables to the anchorages, which are imbedded in either solid rock or massive concrete blocks.
		Technical experts still disagree on the exact cause of the bridge's destruction, but most agree the collapse had something to do with a complex phenomenon called resonance: the same force that can cause a soprano's voice to shatter a glass.
		The new bridge is wider, has deep stiffening trusses under the roadway and even sports a slender gap down the middle—all to dampen the effect of the wind.

		The Humber Bridge is a suspension bridge with the north tower sited on the high water line and the south tower founded in shallow water 500m from the shore.
		On the north bank, a hard well-jointed bed of chalk comes close to the surface and is covered by a tough layer of glacially deposited chalky boulder clay.
		Below these beds, at a depth of 30m, there is a deep bed of stiff, heavily fissured kimmeridge clay, on which the tower and anchorage have been founded.

	Crossing the River Humber by Ferry
		It will probably not go unnoticed that the Humber Bridge in Barton effectively ended the ferry service in New Holland which had originally ended the ferry service in Barton, in short, the main crossing point in modern times on the river Humber returned to where it first began.
		The idea of a bridge is not a new one either, being suggested in 1929, 1932 and 1937.
		Over the years there have been some successful and not so successful ideas of how to cross the river Humber, but by far the most successful (up to the opening of the Humber Bridge) must be the ferry.

		The bridge is located across the Humber Estuary on the East coast of England.
		The analysed results suggest that the bridge's lateral movement at the mid span is in a simple harmonic nature, probably due to wind loading.
		The bridge deck also deforms in the vertical direction, but no movement is evident along the bridge length.
