Tolls at both tunnels on Merseyside have been suspended during the Coronavirus crisis.
The move has been put in place by Steve Rotherham in order to reduce the costs of key workers whilst the country is in lockdown.
Liverpool City Region’s Steve Rotheram praised those “working tirelessly in our communities to provide crucial services to keep us all safe”.
He also took the opportunity to urge others to “stay home and only make essential journeys”.
Halton Council, meanwhile, wants to remove Mersey Gateway bridge tolls and has asked for government approval.
