1 year ago
Drypool Bridge (Clarence Street/Alfred Gelder Street) will begin major repair and strengthening works starting on Monday, 15th September 2025 and is estimated to end in November 2025. During this period, it will be closed to all road traffic for the duration of the project.
Park & Ride Information
To support road users during upcoming works on Drypool Bridge, Hull City Council will be opening a temporary park and ride facility on derelict land off Holderness Road (the former Evans Halshaw site), with space for over 300 vehicles. Initially, there will be 201 standard spaces and 11 disabled parking spaces, with the opportunity to provide 94 additional spaces subject to demand.
The site features separate entrance and exit points onto Holderness Road and Bright Street. Once you have parked for FREE, Hull City Council is pleased to confirm that passengers using the temporary Park & Ride site on Holderness Road are eligible for a special £2 return fare on both Stagecoach and East Yorkshire bus services.
This discounted fare offers excellent value and supports efficient travel into the city while the Drypool Bridge remains under repair. Please note that this is a limited-time offer aligned with the operation of the Holderness Road Park & Ride facility. Passengers are encouraged to check local bus updates and Hull City Council communications for the latest details on ticketing and service availability
