Halton Borough Council has revealed that all eligible residents within the North West England borough will receive up to 300 free journeys per year when the new Mersey Gateway Bridge between Runcorn and Widnes and the current Silver Jubilee Bridge become tolled in 2017.
The scheme, expected to revitalise an area hit hard by the ongoing tough European economic climate, was approved at a full Halton Borough Council meeting last night (11 December 2013).
Tenders have now been received for the Mersey Gateway Project from all three shortlisted bidders competing to deliver the project on behalf of Halton Borough Council. The full and final tenders were delivered to the project’s offices overlooking the River Mersey ahead of the deadline. The project team and its expert advisors will now spend the next few weeks assessing the three bids. The bidding teams have spent the last 18 months working on their plans to become Halton Borough Council’s private sector par
Emovis provides collection of tolls and charges for both Mersey Gateway Crossing and the older 87m-long Silver Jubilee Bridge through its merseyflow brand name.
