Aldwark Toll Bridge on the River Ouse has reopened after being closed for 10 months.
Aldwark Toll Bridge on the River Ouse has reopened after being closed for 10 months. Aldwark Toll Bridge is the only bridge between York and Boroughbridge and was first opened in 1772.
It has been closed for 10 months for repairs, forcing cars, pedestrians and cyclists to make lengthy detours to get from one side of the river to the other. While the bridge was closed the only way of getting from one side of the river to the other was a 22-mile journey via the York Outer Ring Road or a 20-mile journey via Boroughbridge and its bridge.
The tolls remain the same as it was before the closure, which is 40p for cars, £1 for larger vehicles and free for pedestrians and cyclists. Cheaper tickets can be bought online in sets of 50.
