Default Funny little toll bridge on the A57 west of Lincoln

OK now I have googled this one this time but can't find it.

There's a funny little toll bridge on the A57 before you get to Lincoln, always takes me by surprise and I never have any money.

Anyone local that can remember how much it is please?

Gosh you're very clever! Thank you very much. I had no idea what it was called, which probably didn't help google out much.

Think I can cope with 40p each way .

Well I've been over it and I say it's a funny little toll bridge! At least we don't charge people to go over bridges in North Yorkshire. And they say we're the tight ones....

That's because you lot were too tight to build the bridge in the first place - you're still expected to ford it!!

That bridge is about 20 mins up the road from me btw - where are you off to?
