Merseyside is served by six [[Controlled-access highway|motorways]]: the [[M58 motorway|M58]] to the north, [[M56 motorway|M56]] to the south, [[M6 motorway|M6]] & [[M62 motorway|M62]] to the east and [[M53 motorway|M53]] to the west. The [[M57 motorway|M57]] acts as an outer ring road and bypass for the city of Liverpool itself. The [[River Mersey]] is crossed by [[Queensway Tunnel]] and [[Kingsway Tunnel]], which link Liverpool to Birkenhead and Wallasey respectively, and by the [[Silver Jubilee Bridge]] and [[Mersey Gateway Bridge]], which link Runcorn and Widnes. The Mersey Gateway Bridge opened in 2017 and is designed to improve transport links between Widnes and Runcorn and other key locations in the vicinity.<ref>{{cite news |title=Halton Council: Runcorn & Widnes Communications |url=http://www.halton.gov.uk/property/comms_roads.asp |url-status=dead |access-date=10 May 2012 |archive-url=http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20111015125932/http%3A//www.halton.gov.uk/property/comms_roads.asp |archive-date=15 October 2011 |df=dmy-all}}</ref>
