Silver Jubilee Toll Bridge — Attraction in Runcorn

4 years of refurbishment in order to 'ease cognestions' and then 'sorry, we forgot to hang fancy lights onto the bridge'... Really??? Around 1/2 year more to hang those fancy lights on alongside with full closure of the bridge and now, 1 year later, the bridge is functioning with only 1 lane opened. Still causing what? That's right: terrible cognestions. So, summarizing, within last 6-7 years, the bridge was closed during around 5 years out of them (taking into account all refurbishment works, hanging of fancy lights and other constant short-term closures) and we are still experiencing same problems with cognestions. How much did these all works cost? Why all these works couldn't be done in a shorter period of time and all in one go? Who designed the refurbishment project and was it completed according to high standards (especially taking into account a number of following short-term closures)? Did the refurbishment project and those fancy lights cost the amount of money been spent?

When I was planning my journey to Liverpool through Runcorn I checked (on Google Map) to drive through this bridge as there wasn’t any information about charges to cross it.

No physical toll to make payment, they claim this is for 'convenience', however, the whole process is secretive and even more inconvenient than any physical toll. I'm now being threatened with PCN charges for passing over a bridge that doesn't even have a physical toll. Just an attempt to catch people out. All because I didn't pay £2, do they think I have a problem paying £2?? Now I have to pay £40? How are you even supposed to know there is a toll?...
