Mersey Tunnels
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mersey Tunnels connect Liverpool with the Wirral Peninsula, under the River Mersey.
There are three tunnels: the Mersey Railway Tunnel (opened 1886), and two road tunnels, the Queensway Tunnel (opened 1934) and the Kingsway Tunnel (opened 1971). The railway tunnel and Queensway Tunnel connect Liverpool with Birkenhead, while the Kingsway Tunnel runs to Wallasey.
The road tunnels are owned and operated by Merseytravel, and have their own police force, the Mersey Tunnels Police.
