It is the original Severn road crossing between England and Wales, and took three and a half years to build at a cost of £8 million. It replaced the 137-year-old Aust Ferry. The bridge was opened in 1966 by Queen Elizabeth II. It was granted Grade I listed status in 1999.[10] Following the completion of the Prince of Wales Bridge, the section of the motorway from Olveston in England to Magor in Wales was designated the M48.
