Kingsway Tunnel

The Kingsway Tunnel (signposted as the Wallasey Tunnel or W'sey Tunnel) is a toll road tunnel under the River Mersey between Liverpool and Wallasey. It was built because the existing Queensway Tunnel was unable to cope with the rise in postwar traffic. The 1.5 mi (2.4 km) tunnel carries the A59. Locally, it is often referred to as the "new tunnel", to distinguish it from the older Queensway Tunnel (1934), which serves Birkenhead and carries public transport services.
