It is an imposing structure which almost every visitor to Hull and East Yorkshire will see.
The Humber Bridge has been open since 1981, after years of campaigning from residents for a bridge to connect the north and south banks of the River Humber.
Before the bridge was built, the only way across was on a ferry which, while a scenic journey, was seen as a hamper to trade and development.
But not only has it broken those barriers, it has also become a tourist destination in its own right.
With stunning views over the River Humber, it's wonderful to drive, cycle or walk across - particularly when the weather is good!
Here are all the facts you may want to know about the Humber Bridge.
How long is the Humber Bridge?
The Humber Bridge is 1.4 miles long - that's 2,220 metres or 7,823ft. Its two towers - one of the north and one on the south - are 155.5 metres high.
The road part of the bridge is up to 30 metres above the water level.
In comparison, the Severn Bridge which connects England and Wales is 0.99 miles (1.6km) and the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol is 412 metres (1,352ft).
Is the Humber Bridge the longest suspension bridge in the world?
This was a record that the Humber Bridge held for a long time.
It was the longest suspension bridge in the world for 17 years after it was opened in 1981.
However, it was overtaken in 1998 when the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge opened in Japan. That is 3,911 metres long.
Can you walk on the Humber Bridge?
You certainly can - and, in fact, the Humber Bridge remains the longest suspension bridge in the world that you can walk or cycle across.
With fantastic views towards Hull on one side and down the River Humber towards Goole on the other, it really is a stunning walk - particularly on a beautiful day.
It is a must for any visitor to Hull or East Yorkshire.
