The Transporter Bridge Between Runcorn and Widnes |
|
|
| T2544 The transporter bridge was a famous landmark between Widnes and Runcorn for much of the early part of the Twentieth Century. Built in 1905, it provided a road link between the towns on the banks of the River Mersey. A fixed road bridge eventually replaced it in 1961. There are only a handful transporter bridges still in existence, one of them being close by in Warrington. |
