It's not quite correct to say that the bridge was closed during the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta in 2004. I was there this year, and it was most certainly open some of the time. However, the Evening Post and other papers reported that the weight of pedestrian traffic was dangerously high, and that the bridge might therefore be closed entirely during such festivals in future years. Given the gridlock in the city centre even this year, the traffic jams next year don't bear thinking about! Loganberry 16:30, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

In fact, it was closed Thursday 0930 - Friday 0700 and Saturday 1200 - Sunday 0900. See [1]. --rbrwr^± 18:48, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

When Vick made his will, Clifton was still in Gloucestershire. It didn't become part of Bristol until the 1830s. -rbrwr^± 14:34, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Does anyone have a good source for the history of tolls on the bridge? I couldn't find one in the history section of the bridge's website. Recently the article had come to claim:

A toll, initially of £0.50, has been levied on vehicles since 2007

Which is absolutely not true, it was 50p from 2007 but was levied long before that (5p in the 1970s, I believe), and presumably from opening. But I can't find a clear source for what and when. A link given in a section above (now apparently dead but available on the Wayback Machine) gives 1991 as the date pedestrian and cyclist tolls were abolished.-- rbrwr^± 16:41, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
