The bridge is 335 metres long, running adjacent to the Royal Albert Bridge and part of the A38, a main road between the two counties.
It opened to traffic on 24 October 1961 and was formally opened by the Queen Mother in April 1962, with a 335 metre main span and an overall length of about 642 metres. Operated jointly by Cornwall Council and Plymouth City Council as Tamar Crossings, the crossing was strengthened and widened between 1998 and 2001 to add an extra traffic lane and a dedicated pedestrian and cycle path, and it remains a tolled route offering broad estuary views alongside the neighbouring Royal Albert Bridge.
The Visitor and Learning Centre at the Tamar Bridge celebrates the engineering heritage of both the 20th century Tamar Bridge and Brunel’s iconic 19th century Royal Albert rail Bridge.
The Centre has free interactive exhibitions and is open daily 10-4 and has a learning and events programme which brings the bridges to life.
Funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the Tamar Crossings.
