Queensway Tunnel closed in both directions after off-road bike collision
The Queensway Tunnel is closed in both directions after a serious collision involving an off-road bike.
Merseyside Police said emergency services were called shortly before 1.05pm on Tuesday, 11 August, following reports of a one-vehicle collision on the carriageway from Birkenhead towards Liverpool.
The tunnel will remain closed while the incident is dealt with. Motorists are being advised to avoid the route and use an alternative crossing of the River Mersey.
The closure was initially reported on the Birkenhead-to-Liverpool side before being extended to both directions.
The Queensway Tunnel, also known as the Birkenhead Tunnel, carries road traffic beneath the River Mersey between Birkenhead and Liverpool. It opened in 1934 and is operated by Merseytravel.
Police said further updates would be issued when available.
