Description
The Cleddau Bridge on the A477 road spans the River Cleddau between Neyland and Pembroke Dock, Wales. Originally called the Milford Haven Bridge, it collapsed during construction due to design errors in box girder design in 1970 and became operational in 1975.
It is a toll bridge, with toll booths located on the Pembroke Dock side of the bridge. As of June 2007 the toll is £0.75 for cars & vans and £1.50 for buses and lorries over 2 tonnes.
Despite the income from the tolls there is an excess in spending of about £600,000pa which lead to calls of the bridge being adopted by the Welsh Assembly and the tolls being scrapped.

Nice collection of Pano's here definitely worth the effort to get those wide vista's.
superb panorama
A Beautiful panorama! Well done!
Wow! Impressive both in content and photo quality. Well done
Amazing work my friend.
Great info here Alz, enjoyed the read, staggering that in the UK we do seem to have these useless charges that gain nothing, your Pano work is remarkable, another Ernie Wiser mate!
Excellent!!! Great panorama and beautiful place!!
Much like the white elephant on Humberside Aled, a bridge from nowhere to nowhere, it costs more to collect the tolls than it actually generates in income. We pay enough in Road and Petrol taxes without having to pay tolls for bridges. Super pano yet again, you have done well with putting them together. Excellent work. Bravo!!!!!
Wonderful shot!
Excellent!
Superb panorama!
wow these pano`s are fantastic aled ,shows the expanse of the bridge well .excellent mate :o) mick
there was a turnpike between Dallas and Ft.Worth for many years.when it was due to expire and become a free road the state wanted to continue charging tolls.a very smart attorney sued the state and won in court.it has been free now for maybe 25 years or longer. outstanding vista and capture
