The original Severn Road Bridge was completed in 1966 and replaced the old ferry. It's a suspension bridge with a span of 3,240 ft (988 m). Originally it carried the M4, but after the new bridge was completed it changed to the M48.

The Severn Road Bridge has wide pavements on either side, separated by barriers from the carriageway. It's noisy, but it's also quite fun to walk or ride across.
