From 2018 the Chancellor will halve the price of the Severn river crossing between England and Wales. This means that cars will have to pay £3.30 – rather than £6.60 – to cross one of the Severn bridges linking the countries.
 
Meanwhile, the charge for LCVs up to 3500kg is set to fall from £13.20 to £6.60. Goods vehicles over 3500kg will see charges fall from £19.80 to £9.90.
 
The Government is also considering the costs and benefits of introducing a free-flow barrier-free tolling system – something which has already been introduced at the Dartford Crossing in Kent, in an attempt to improve traffic flow.
