Following on from the plans already made for the Dartford crossing, an automated tolling system to allow HGV's to use the Humber Bridge without visiting a toll booth could be introduced sometime between this autumn and spring 2015, following the introduction of new toll booths.
Work is already underway to reduce the number of toll booths from six to three in order to accommodate automatic tolling infrastructure and two free-flow lanes.
The updated booths are expected to be in use in June or early July. Manual payment of tolls at the booths will continue until the automated system is installed, and one staffed booth will remain in place.
Last year, the Humber Bridge Board said it has no plans to increase tolls when the new system comes into effect.
