Hull isn't also called "Bridgetown" for nothing

Hull is top of the list in that no other city has so many opening bridges over such a short distance of navigable river. There are thirteen bridges and all of them swing or lift to open to river traffic
And on one particular day all the bridges opened together cutting the city in half

Open Bridges is an independent not for profit Hull/East Yorkshire based project which made history when for the first, and only time, all 13 of the bridges over the River Hull raised, swung or closed simultaneously splitting the city of Hull in two at 20:17 hours on the autumn equinox, 22nd September 2017.
As part of the "City of Culture celebration in 2017
The phot o is of the Ennerdale link Bridges  the river crossing originally intended to be a tunnel.[33] Work on the tunnel was halted in 1994 after difficulties with the ground conditions were encountered. Instead bridges designed by Rendel Palmer and Tritton based on those already installed at Stoneferry were used


To put it simply the tunnel kept flooding!
