Mersey Tunnel

The Mersey Tunnel, also known as the Queensway Tunnel, is a submerged road tunnel connecting Liverpool and Wirral in England, crossing beneath the River Mersey. Opened in 1934, it provides a vital transportation link, allowing vehicles to travel between the two areas without crossing the river surface. The tunnel is approximately 2.3 miles long, featuring multiple tunnels running parallel for northbound and southbound traffic. It is an engineering achievement, designed to facilitate efficient movement and reduce surface congestion, contributing significantly to the region’s connectivity and economy.
