The Mersey Gateway is a new road bridge which will cross the River Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal just less than a mile to the east of the existing Silver Jubilee Bridge that connects the towns of Widnes and Runcorn. It will connect the Central Expressway in Runcorn with the Eastern Bypass and Speke Road in Widnes. Construction work for the new bridge began on 7 May 2014, with the bridge due to be finished by 2017.
