The tolls on both of the Severn Crossings have finally been removed after the UK government pledged to scrap them last year.
Motorists will no longer have to pay to use the bridges to travel into Wales.
Tolls have been charged on the Severn Crossings, which are operated by Highways England, since 1966.
The final driver to pay to cross over from England to Wales was the Secretary of State for Wales, Alun Cairns.
Mr Cairns said: “The end of the tolls is a major milestone for the economies of South Wales and South-West of England, and will remove historic barriers between communities.
“Scrapping the tolls means an end to generations of people paying to simply cross the border, and delivering this has been one of my key aims as Welsh Secretary.
“A week before Christmas drivers will no longer have to pay every time they cross the border, meaning more money in their pockets, helping them with the cost of living and leaving them with more cash to spend in their local areas.”
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said: “We made a commitment in the manifesto to deliver free crossings over the Severn and that’s exactly what we’re delivering.
“This move will put £1,400 a year in the pockets of thousands of hard-working motorists and help transform the economy in the South West and South Wales creating new opportunities and helping drive future growth.”
The original Severn Bridge was opened in 1966, while the second Severn Crossing, which has recently been renamed The Prince of Wales Bridge, opened in 1996.
