From today you can register for the merseyflow tolling system that will operate on the new Mersey Gateway and Silver Jubilee bridges.

There are a number of ways to register, with the website – www.merseyflow.co.uk

Here’s how to register:

There are a range of sign up methods available, but registering on the merseyflow website – www.merseyflow.co.uk – will be the fastest method.

I am sorry but who paid for the Bridge. If was the Tax payer paid then it should be free to use.

so if you want to use it , you need the internet to register and pay , and just like the private car parks it employs big brother tactics for rules and fines ... think I will pass on this one !!

Why should blue badge holders get to cross the bridge for free, surely that's discriminating against able bodied motorists.

Private funding hence able to charge a toll for 30 years - "The Merseylink Consortium was appointed by Halton Borough Council as the project company in 2014 on a 30-year contract to design, build, finance and operate the project. Its equity partners are Macquarie Capital Group Limited, BBGI, and FCC Construcción. The construction joint venture is made up of Kier Infrastructure and Overseas Limited, Samsung C&T Corporation and FCC Construcción S.A. Emovis will deliver and operate the tolling solution for the consortium through its merseyflow brand."

Why do we have to line the private sectors pockets all the time. Why can we not build anything in this country any more. We have become a Joke.

You will be able to drive over both bridges without registering but by doing this you will have to pay the full unregistered toll cost for each journey you make

How do I register with merseyflow?

The easiest way to register will be online at this website but when registration opens at 8am on 17th July you will also be able to register in person at our local walk-in centre or over the phone if you prefer

They have to pay to register, they can only register one vehicle so if they were in a different vehicle they would have to pay.
