Drain clearing plus pumping aimed to speed a late-morning reopening.

Overview

  • Traffic data reported very heavy congestion through the Friday morning rush with drivers diverted onto alternative routes.
  • Humberside Fire and Rescue attended to pump surface water from the affected carriageway.
