two.1.4) Short description
Tolls collected at the Tamar Bridge represent the major source of income for the Tamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry which are operated and maintained as self-financing infrastructure.
Despite offering a range of automated and cash-free payment options, a physical presence is still required in each of the five mixed mode toll lanes and to support our two automated lanes. This high profile 24/7/365 service has been contracted-out since 1986, with the current contract expiring on 31 March 2022 and a new arrangement is required with an initial proposed contract duration of 3 years and an option to extend for a further 2 year period.
