[QUOTE] For a very long time they had single lanes on both sides as the bridge was structurally unsound - chocolate overhead cables IIRC. There was a 38T weight limit too.[/QUOTE] 44T now. [QUOTE] They decided to let traffic continue to cross the bridge but at a reduced flow rate. Hence 40mph & single lanes. They've allegedly replaced the dodgy cables and all lanes are open at 70mph - or they were last time I used the old bridge. I think the weight limit remains.[/QUOTE] The speed limit was 70mph this morning, but what I assume to be the 40mph signs were covered over.
