Ventilation shafts of the Kingsway Tunnel
Kingsway comprises identical twin tunnels. Each has two 12 ft (3.7 m) lanes. They carry on average 45,000 vehicles a day (almost 16.4million per year).[4] As of April 2022, a single car journey through the tunnel cost £2.[5] Staffed and automatic tollbooths are located on the Wallasey side. Of the two tunnels crossing the River Mersey, Kingsway is the only one able to take heavy goods vehicles (HGVs).

These were built in 1971 to ventilate the new Kingsway Tunnel, a second Mersey Tunnel created when the 1930s Queensway Tunnel was unable to cope with the rise in postwar traffic.

Kingsway Tunnel Ventilation Shaft, Wallasey
The Kingsway tunnel ventilation shafts at Wallasey is one of two near-identical structures on the opposite sides of the Mersey which provide ventilation for the Kingsway road tunnel. They were completed in 1971 when the Kingsway tunnel was completed between Liverpool and Wallasey. The tower, sited on the promenade, dominates the Wallasey riverfront.
