There is literally no reason for it to be permitted, and it is destroying a rare heritage asset. You want to know how the heritage people are full of shit...they'd be upset about this if they cared about heritage. I barely care about heritage, and I am bothered by this...
The absolute maximum it can save anybody is 6 minutes:

And that is for somebody who literally just wants to cross the bridge. For a typical motor vehicle trip I doubt it can save more than a minute or two.
So I’m definitely agreed that motor vehicles don’t need to use that bridge.
Actually that saves zero time. At least by Google Map's imprecise measurements, because that's a 6 minute drive around, but over the bridge is a 1 minute drive, and it's also a 1 minute walk...so if the bridge was closed to cars, they could just walk across the bridge in 1 minute.
