TOLLS for the Humber Bridge which is scheduled to open at the end of this year have already been proposed. The maximum prices are: Heavy goods vehicles over 3 tons unladen: 2 axles, £5.20; 3 axles, £6.60; 4 axles, £8.00; goods vehicles 30cwt to 3 tons, £2.90; buses and coaches, £5.20; minibuses, £2.90; light vans, £1.50.
The last estimate for the total cost of the bridge — it will be the largest single span suspension bridge in the world — was E71.45m.
Meanwhile, other longerestablished bridges are also in financial difficulties. The Forth, Tay and Erskine Bridges in Scotland all have outstanding debts (£18m, £7m and £21m respectively) and it is expected that the tolls will soon rise.
