Is there a bridge between cardiff and Bristol? What is it called?


And what is the river between them called?

thanks

cardiff is nowhere near bristol. You mean the severn bridge, across the severn...

7 bridge or new one on m49

River severn
Clifton Bridge

The Severn Bridge crosses the River Severn, that links the two cities, albeit indirectly.

The Clifton Bridge.

Er, I think it's called the bridge over the river Kwai ...by the way, there is also a bridge that crosses the Atlantic..true...

You need to cross the "old" Severn Bridge (M48) or the Second Severn Crossing (M4) in order to get between Bristol and Cardiff - though there is approx 44 miles between the 2 cities.

As of the 1st Jan 08, the toll now costs an outrageous 拢5.30 - in one direction, when entering Wales.

The waterway between Wales and Bristol is the River Severn.
Back in the 1940's we used a car ferry near Aust, to cross the River or took the long route up the A38 and down the Wye Valley.
The Severn Bridge was built in the 1950's - latter half I seem to remember and is now part of the M48 (still near Aust - Is the Blue Boar Pub still there?)
The "Second Severn Crossing" goes from near Severn Beach via the M4 north-east of Newport.
So neither bridge actually goes from Bristol nor to Cardiff.
The other bridge being mentioned is Brunel's bridge at Clifton, Bristol 8, which crosses the River Avon towards Leigh Woods.

There are two bridges the severn bridge and the second severn crossing. The are very close together. They go from Aust (England) to Beachley (Wales). The second severn crossing was built to take the strain off of the severn bridge. There is also a rail tunnel that goes under the river between the bridges called the severn tunnel.

It's called the New Severn Bridge that goes over the river severn & gives transport links by road for Wales & England.

THE M4/ M32/ motorway connects these cities and this motorway has a bridge that goes over the river Severn / bristolchannel it is a road bridge ony and a expensive toll at that when you travel towards Cardiff 拢5.30 . train travel via the Severn tunnel may be a better option. Its called the second severn crossing.
