Due to strong winds, motorhomes, campervans, and other high-sided vehicles are banned from travelling on the Humber Bridge (A15) in both directions. National Highways has implemented a diversion route via the A180, M180, M18, M62, and A63. The bridge, which carries around 33,000 vehicles per day, will remain closed until weather conditions improve.

The company attributes this to positive sentiment in the sector, also noted at the HARPA conference.
