Mersey Bridges
Beams arrived in sections on long vehicles, and supported by two cranes, were bolted together across the river. The new Junction 7 clockwise offslip onto the A56 Chester Road can be seen on the left of the photograph. These bridges have been constructed using 'weathered' steel beams that do not need painting due to the restricted access over the river.
