    the Severn Bridge connects Beachley and Aust, which are both in Gloucestershire. There is a smaller bridge (the Wye Bridge) which connects Chepstow to Beachley. Anyone who has used the Severn bridge will know it is in fact two bridges as described.

    It is technically two bridges but they're connected. The bridges aren't a fat lot of good without each other. While the Severn Bridge is the bit over the Severn, the Severn Crossing is both bridges, and the two viaducts.

    I was just pointing out that the Severn Bridge is in act all in England, and that it is the Wye Bridge that connects England and Wales.

    given that 3/4 of the crossing is entirely in England, I struggle to see the argument for why the funds should be spent wholly in Wales
