Both the new bridge “Mersey Gateway Bridge” and the Silver Jubilee Bridge between Liverpool and Birkenhead will be tolled from autumn 2017, but thanks to a convenient change in design there will be no toll booths and no need to stop to cross the river – making everyone’s journey, quicker, easier and more reliable.
Instead Merseyflow will use automatic number plate reading technology and registered users will also get a special sticker to attach to the windscreen of their registered vehicle.
The Merseyflow tolling system will be operated by Emovis, a global leader in tolling solutions which successfully operates similar schemes in the UK, Canada and Ireland.
To reach relevant drivers, Merseyflow are targeting car owners in the 8 local authorities closest to the Mersey.
