£8.5m Humber Link Road opens between Grimsby and Immingham
Almost two years in the making
The new Humber Link Road between Grimsby and Immingham has now opened to the public.
The £8.5 million, 2.5km road is expected to reduce travel time by up to 20 minutes in the area, and took 96 weeks to build.
It stretches from Moody Lane in Grimsby to Hobson Way in Stallingborough, aiming to unite the port complexes in North East Lincolnshire.
The three-phase project saw the opening up of a direct route to land, as well as replacing an unadopted stretch of private road, ending at Humber Gate in Grimsby.

A man who proudly proclaimed himself to be the great-great grandson of Queen Victoria s confidant Abdul Karim is in court facing multiple child sex offences.
Nabeel Syed, 39, is charged with 11 counts, including three rapes, against a girl who was just eight years old when the abuse is alleged to have started.
Just over three years ago, Mr Syed, a financial advisor from Leicester, showed off his remarkable collection of black and white photographs showing his relative Abdul and Queen Victoria after researching his family tree.
Karim was handpicked to help Queen Victoria learn about her Indian territories in the late 19th century and went on to be a Royal servant for 15 years.
