Opposition parties and AA voice dismay at tolls plan

THE Westlink toll bridge on the M50 will be replaced by barrier-free electronic tolling by 2008.

The toll bridge has been blamed for some of the worst congestion on the motorway, used by up to 100,000 motorists a day.

The National Roads Authority said it had terminated negotiations with National Toll Roads (NTR) because it was not happy with the value for money being offered.
