THE Humber Bridge has suspended tolls until midnight on Monday.
Bridge-master Peter Hill had ordered his staff to stop collecting tolls until noon today.
However, he has agreed to length the waiver to "alleviate unprecedented traffic volumes" caused by ongoing resurfacing work on the M180.
Although the resurfacing work is concentrated on the south bank, it has led to long delays on the bridge and A63.
The Highways Agency has this morning opened one lane eastbound on the M180 between junctions 2 and 3, but drivers are still being advised to avoid the area.
Contractors are continuing to work around the clock to fully open the motorway by 6am on Monday morning.
Highways Agency spokesman Chris Holehouse said: "This morning we have seen much reduced delays around the M180 and A18.
"However, there are still two lanes closed on the M180 and we advise people who can take alternative routes to the east coast to do so.
"We have been working hard to revise the work schedule to alleviate the delays experienced over the past two days and our contractors have worked round the clock to get one lane open this morning."• Visit highways.gov.uk for further information.
