River Hull tidal surge barrier

283:. The gap between the two towers is 98 feet (30 m) wide and 85 feet (26 m) high to allow shipping to access the river beyond the barrier. The large barrier is stationed in a horizontal position when not in use, but rotates 90 degrees and is lowered when a tidal surge is forecast. The barrier then interlocks into a sill built into the riverbed. When not in use, the barrier's position elevated above the river between the two towers has been described as looking like an "..up and over garage door". The River Hull tidal surge barrier is the second largest flood barrier in the United Kingdom; only the barrier on the River Thames is larger. The height of the two towers is 98 feet (30 m), and the movable barrier that spans the two towers weighs 202 tonnes (223 tons). The barrier can be deployed within 30 minutes of a flood warning. Whilst there are motors that power the barrier into action, if any of them fail, the barrier can be hand-cranked into position within 30 minutes. 50: 34: 310: 2008: 57: 254:
The need for the barrier arose after severe flooding of the city from a tidal surge in 1969. In 1971, the Yorkshire Rivers Authority engaged Mcdonald & Partners as engineers on the project, with the Shankland Cox Partnership as architects. Initially costed in 1971, the work on the barrier came to

It is held horizontal when not in use, and turns 90 degrees before being lowered to the riverbed in the event of a tidal surge. It is the second largest flood barrier in the United Kingdom after the 278:
Construction on the barrier was started in January 1977, with projected opening date of August 1979, however, difficulties in the building phase led to schedule slipping. The barrier was opened on 15 April 1980 by Dennis Matthews, chairman of the

The barrier was opened in 1980, and since then, has closed over 30 times as a preventative measure during tidal surges. A proposed lagoon to control tidal flooding in the Humber Estuary would render the River Hull non-tidal. The barrier was
