The Runcorn - Widnes Bridge.
This is a massive cantilevered construction carrying the main A562 road over the Mersey and the ship canal. Opened in 1961 to replace the old transporter bridge transporter_bridge.htm which was then demolished. Because of its distinctive arched shape and size, rising to some 276 feet above the river, the bridge can be seen for miles around. |
