Councillors have voted to rename the old Severn Bridge in honour of the Queen s upcoming Platinum Jubilee.
The Queen, who celebrates the jubilee in 2022, opened the bridge, which links England and Wales via the M48, in 1966.
South Gloucestershire Council voted on Wednesday to write to the transport secretary to request the change.
But opposition Labour councillors abstained saying it could reignite arguments of toxic nationalism on the England and Wales border.
It is likely there would be a public consultation before a final decision.
Matthew Riddle, Conservative member for Severn Vale, proposed the motion, saying he wanted the region to go the extra mile to mark the jubilee in a suitable manner .
