In brief

Discover how engineers addressed rapid corrosion on the Humber Bridge—a challenge faced by many suspension bridges—and learn about the ongoing maintenance methods they use to keep it protected. This is a fascinating look at real-world engineering solutions for large-scale structures.

Description from the creator

A decade ago, engineers found the Humber Bridge had the same problem as many of the world's suspension bridges: unexpectedly fast corrosion. Here's how they fixed it, and how they're checking that it's staying fixed.

Thanks to all the team at the Humber Bridge board, at Cleveland Bridge, and Visit Hull and East Yorkshire, all of whom spent a lot of time and effort getting me up to the towers!
