History
Traffic to and from Hull to the A1 historically went over Boothferry Bridge, on the A614, which was a swing bridge.
The position of the bridge and the M62 resulted from a study carried out in 1964 by Scott Wilson Kirkpatrick & Partners. They would also design the bridge. It is a haunched girder bridge.
