About Kingsway Tunnel
The Kingsway Tunnel is a toll road tunnel under the River Mersey between Liverpool and Wallasey. The 1. 5 mi tunnel carries the A59. It was built because the Queensway Tunnel - which was built in the 1930s to carry vehicles between Birkenhead and Liverpool - was unable to cope with the rise in postwar traffic.
