It's part of the National Cycle Route 4, and cyclists are permitted to use the footpath/cycleway located on the northern side of the bridge.
It opened in 1966 and replaced earlier ferry services. It was a key engineering feat of its time, featuring a suspension design, and remained the primary crossing until the opening of the Second Severn Crossing in 1996.
