The Severn Bridges Visitor Centre

The Centre was opened in June 1998 and closed in 2009 pending relocation to a new site.
The Severn Bridges Trust will continue to provide information via this website pending at the provision of a new Centre which may be some years away.   

This website is a source for educational information on the Severn Bridges (including their history, information on traffic conditions, tolls and  the local weather), bridges generally, engineering, designers, constructors, the local environment, engineering careers and much more. 

The Centre location at Severn Beach still provides car parking  for those taking the spectacular walk along the estuary.  It is a very short distance from the public footpath and cycle route along the Binn Wall, which affords excellent views of the bridges.

Are you a Design and Technology teacher looking for inspiration on civil or structural engineering for school projects?  Are you a pupil wanting to learn about careers in engineering?  Follow the links...  

Before you set out, check out the traffic and check out the weather conditions.

Tolls are charged westwards only and details can be obtained from the  web site of
Severn Crossings plc
