The Queensway Tunnel is a road tunnel under the River Mersey, in the north west of England, between Liverpool and Birkenhead. It is often called the Birkenhead Tunnel, to distinguish it from the Kingsway Tunnel, which serves Wallasey.
Contruction started in 1925 and opened to traffic on the 18th of July 1934.
The tunnel is 3.24 kilometres or 2.01 miles long and is 44ft (13.4m) wide. The 4 lane road deck ( two lanes for each direction) is 36ft (10.97m) wide.
