Wilford Toll Bridge, locally referred to as the 'Halfpenny Bridge',[1] is a tram, pedestrian and cycle bridge in Nottingham, England. It crosses the River Trent between the Meadows and Wilford. It originally opened as a toll bridge for general traffic in 1870, but was closed when declared unsafe in 1974. Following demolition of the central span, a narrower footbridge and cycleway was opened in 1980. The bridge was once again widened to accommodate an extension of the Nottingham Express Transit network in 2015.
Parts of the northern side of the bridge are Grade II listed building, including the former toll house.[2][3][4]
