Newport Transporter Bridge

[Banjo]

Much pleasanter way to cross the River Usk if travelling across South Wales.Ideal if you intend riding across the Gwent Levels.

Free for pedestrians/bikes and 50p for cars.

Is the deck flopping a bit or is that just the camber?

Good, eh? I flagged this up in another thread. To roars of silence from the crowd.

Sorry, didnt see your post about it.Used it a few days ago on the way to Chepstow by car.On the bike it avoids the busy Docks Rd bridge .

The deck seems to have a slight camber but I think the camera wasnt level.

And only about 25 miles from the old severn Bridge which you can cycle over.
