    The Silver Jubilee Bridge (originally the Runcorn–Widnes Bridge or informally the Runcorn Bridge) crosses the River Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal at Runcorn Gap between Runcorn and Widnes in Halton, England. It is a through arch bridge with a main arch span of 361 yards (330 m). It was opened in 1961 as a replacement for the Widnes–Runcorn Transporter Bridge. In 1975–77 the carriageway was widened, after which the bridge was given its official name in honour of the Queen's Silver Jubilee. It carries the A533 road and a cantilevered footway. The bridge is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. The bridge was closed to vehicles for refurbishment upon the opening of the new Mersey Gateway Bridge, but reopened as a toll bridge in February 2021.

      Be aware that if you are riding from the bridge along the transpenine trail towards Hale there are many steps zigzaging down to a walkway bridge. Being a 66 year old with a heavy ebike I turned around at this point. I may have got down them but didn't fancy coming back up them on return journey.

        Friends of mine have eBikes and negotiate the steps comfortably by putting the bike into Walk Mode.
