Comments This is where I was proposed to on 10th July, 2011, beside the bridge, looking out over the river to the beautiful weeping willow. So romantic...the answer was YES!

Comments George - I wish we could start the reconstuction in Spring for the reasons you mention. But the Environment Agency won't let us - they do not want the recreational use of the river around the Bridge to be curtailed during the pleasure boat season.

Comments Why are you starting to re-build in October? This is the start of winter with shorter day light hours so the working day will be heavily curtailed plus the inclemate weather that winter brings. Surely a spring start would be much more appropriate and beneficial.

Comments Mark - I know from my experience that you are correct and 6 is the correct charge.

Comments Mark - the cash Toll was 6p in 1992. We know of course the history of our Tolls, and we may add this to our history page some time.

Comments My wife and I have a disagreement on the toll in 1992 - she says 2p, I say 6. Is there is history of charges over the years ?

Comments I think the bridge a delight to cross, and the toll a minor levy to pay for the rich history of this magnificent bygone era, set in beautiful English countryside.

Comments Are you planning to finance rebuilding the bridge from cash funds or will you need to borrow money?

Comments As you are retaining the toll collectors why spend money now on a new system. Surely it would have been better to put the money towards the rebuilding costs and incorporate the changes then.

Comments Regarding the new Bridge Card System. I hope you will be aware of longer delays whilst the barrier is being activated by the card. ie waiting for the barrier to go up and then down.

Comments I used to have a chore of a commute into London for my work. Even a short queue at the Bridge is a real pleasure, such beautiful surroundings and friendly staff. Keep up the good work.

Comments I found this site via the Reading Chronicle site via the BBC Berkshire site! It's great to be able to read all about the bridge's history and the plans for its replacement. We love the bridge and enjoy taking visitors across it when showing them the beautiful countryside around Pangbourne & Whitchurch. Hopefully the new bridge will be in keeping with the area and the tolls will not have to be raised too much to pay for the work.
