The Mersey Gateway Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge that spans the River Mersey in England. It connects the towns of Runcorn and Widnes, providing a vital transport link for vehicles and pedestrians. Opened in October 2017, the bridge is designed to ease traffic congestion and improve connectivity in the region. The bridge features a main span of 1,000 meters and stands 125 meters above the river, allowing large vessels to pass underneath. It is part of a larger project that includes new road infrastructure and aims to enhance economic growth in the Cheshire area.
