Mersey Gateway & Silver Jubilee Bridges
The Mersey Gateway and Silver Jubilee bridges between Runcorn and Widnes are tolled by camera — there are no booths. Crucially, the deadline is stricter than most: you must pay by midnight on the day you cross, not the day after.
That same-day cut-off catches out even more drivers than Dartford's, because there's less time to remember before the window closes.
