The Second Severn Crossing , officially named the Prince of Wales Bridge since July 2018, is the M4 motorway bridge over the River Severn between England and Wales, opened in 1996 to supplement the traffic capacity of the Severn Bridge built in 1966. The bridge is operated by England's National Highways.

The Prince of Wales Bridge was opened in 1996 by His Royal Highness, 30 years after the original Severn Bridge was opened by his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. Upon its completion, the M4 was diverted to cross the modernised bridge. The bridge is divided into three sections: a 25-span viaduct on the English side that is 6,900 feet (2,103 m) long; a 24-span viaduct on the Welsh side that is 6,814 feet (2,077 m); and the actual bridge, a 3,110 foot (948 m) structure with a 121 foot (37 m) clearance. The total length is 3.2 miles (5.2 km).
