The old Mersey tunnel, was a 4 lane tolled roadway under the river Mersey, linking Birkenhead to Liverpool, and as you can see ideal for cycling and no traffic as can be seen, it would even allow two way bus traffic using the middle lanes as was previously the case, the left exit i stopped at gives a direct route onto the Strand where a new bi directional cycle lane has been built over a short distance.
Sadly the above will be in the future, but as we all know the future becomes the past in time.
I posted up the wrong video last night which was the previous year 2021, this one is in fact 2022.

That’s not a cycle lane installation (sic) it’s the normal lanes but obviously the tunnel is closed to cars.

I would like to do this as you can after 8pm but can you go both ways ? How come there is no car traffic 🤔 what’s the gradient going back up I’ll say about 7% , wonder if there is a Strava segment

At the current time the tunnel is closed to all traffic for new lighting to be installed,after 20.00 hrs but press a help button or go to a police office , and they will escort you through for free until further notice. Its a horrible ride with traffic in there especially on the gradients, and the fumes sap your breathing in traffic, Birkenhead side is steeper, i use the dock branch exit on the liverpool side as its less steep and a more gradual slope.

@@252ScoobyFrom merseytraels website under tunnels "Bicycles are not permitted through the Kingsway (Wallasey) Tunnel. Through the Queensway (Birkenhead) Tunnel, they are not allowed between the hours of 6am to 8pm, Monday to Friday, 7am to 8pm on Saturday and 8am to 9pm on Sunday. Please note, the time limits during a Sunday are only operational between 1st April and 30th September inclusive." also, " Cyclists looking to use the Queensway Tunnel during the planned night time closures can still do however, this is under a Police escort only. They can report to the Police Information points at either end of the Tunnel, Old Haymarket or Kings Square, and call the Police Help Point or call 0300 3000 999. Mersey Tunnels Police will arrange safe passage through the Tunnel during the closure for essential travel i.e. travel to and from work and entry may be refused at certain times for safety reasons. Cyclists must not enter the Tunnel without the Police escort for safety management reasons" Hope the above helps, Birkenhead to Liverpool you zoom down the tunnel its weird and with no traffic so quiet except for a breeze
