Is the Menai Bridge a toll-way ? From Staf Greenen

The answer is simple, the bridge is no longer a toll road and anybody is free to cross the bridge. However, some larger buses cannot fit through the arches on the bridge or are too heavy, it is worthwile checking if you were to take a bus across.
 
There was a toll to cross the bridge when the bridge first opened. This was abolished in 1941 when the bridge reopened after major reconstruction work. It has remained toll free since then and will remain toll free in the future.

In 2005 the royal mint issued a £1 coin and described the bridge as the Telford Bridge, is this the correct name? No name given

The usual name given for the Bridge is the Menai Suspension Bridge or Menai Bridge. However, the bridge is known by some people, especially locals, as the Telford Bridge in order to help differentiate between the Telford's and Stephenson's bridges.
