The old (Silver Jubilee) bridge is being refurbished to accommodate local road traffic, dedicated cycle path and pedestrian footpath. While this is now closed to vehicles during the refurbishment it is still open to pedestrians and cycles.
When it re-opens fully the bridge will be tolled for motor vehicles and free for pedestrians and bicycles.

Ok thanks. It seems a little bit disingenuous to me to cite the encouragement of cycling as a main objective of the Mersey Gateway when really it means cyclists and pedestrians can use the Silver Jubilee bridge only.
All road configurations can be changed though; before long the new bridge will be a cycle super highway
