The Mersey Gateway Bridge is a multi-million pound transport scheme between Runcorn and Widnes in Cheshire, England. The main part of the project was the construction of the "Mersey Gateway" toll bridge spanning the River Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal. The crossing, which opened in October 2017, has three traffic lanes in each direction. It is located approximately 1.5 km (1 mi) to the east of the existing Silver Jubilee Bridge.
The project also includes major civil engineering work realigning the existing road network, constructing new interchanges and landscaping 9 km (6 mi) of highway.
