About the Mersey Gateway Bridge

The Mersey Gateway Bridge (A533) is a cable-stayed bridge crossing the River Mersey between Runcorn and Widnes in Cheshire. Opened in 2017, it is managed by Mersey Gateway Crossings Board and replaced the Silver Jubilee Bridge as the main crossing. A toll is charged for using the bridge. Closures cause significant disruption as traffic must divert to the Mersey tunnels or the Runcorn-Widnes Silver Jubilee Bridge.

The Mersey Gateway Bridge is managed by Mersey Gateway Crossings Board. Road closures on the Mersey Gateway Bridge are reported through the UK government's Street Manager system and appear here in real time.
