A. The Tyne Tunnel does not get any financial help from Central Government, unlike the other crossings of the Tyne. It has to cover its running costs and, before control passed to TT2, had to repay the Government for the money that was borrowed for its construction. Toll monies are now being used to pay for the New Tyne Crossing.
