The Department for Transport (“DFT”) today announced that it had approved the Clifton Suspension Bridge Trust’s application for an increase in the cash toll from 50 pence to £1. This follows a public inquiry in May 2013. The new toll will be introduced on Thursday 24 April. However, if you are a regular user of the bridge all crossings currently on your crossing card will remain valid and you will be able to purchase additional crossings at the following rates: £50 will buy 100 crossings at 50 pence per crossing £170 will buy 400 crossings at 42.5 pence per crossing; £350 buys 1,000 crossings at 35 pence per crossing. In September 2009 a “convenience” 50-crossing card was introduced, without any discount. Now the Trust intend to introduce a discount on this card as well, offering 50 crossings for £30.
