Severn bridges: Final day of at least 800 years of tolls

Some history.

The bridge between Monmouthshire and South Gloucestershire will be closed again at 19:00 on Sunday and reopen free-flowing and toll-free before Monday morning's rush hour - at a time yet to be confirmed - but with a 50mph speed restriction on temporary narrow lanes.
Motorists will be diverted around the original M48 Severn Bridge on Sunday night.
Shortly after the M4 bridge reopens on Monday, the M48 original Severn crossing will shut westbound until Wednesday for the tolls there to be dismantled.
Further work will be carried out in 2019 to return both routes to a three-lane motorway with the usual 70mph speed limit.
