Queensway Tunnel, road tunnel under the River Mersey in England
Queensway Tunnel is a road tunnel connecting Liverpool and Wirral beneath the Mersey River, featuring Art Deco architectural details. The passage was engineered to carry vehicle traffic between both banks in a single continuous route.
The tunnel opened during the 1930s and became a major transportation link between the two shores. Its construction reduced reliance on ferry services for crossing.
The tunnel is accessible year-round for vehicle traffic and maintained regularly. Visitors can experience it by driving through or joining guided tours.
The tunnel is notable for its Art Deco cladding at the entrances, constructed in the 1930s. These decorative facades are rare examples of this architectural style applied to transportation infrastructure.
