The Tamar Bridge forms the major of 2 crossings of the River Tamar between Plymouth and Cornwall (the other being the Torpoint Ferry) on the A38. The suspension bridge was built as 3 lane tidal flow and opened in 1961 with the toll booths located on the Plymouth side, the bridge was recently widened by adding two cantilevered lanes to either side of the suspension. The southern lane forms a footpath and cycle way, whilst the northern lane takes the local traffic from Saltash.
