M62 bridge closed ahead of demolition.
The “sausage bridge” across the M62 near Huyton has closed for good today, as work begins on a replacement.
The Greystone footbridge, as it is officially known, will be demolished this weekend, giving keen users just a few days to see the bridge for the last time.
A Knowsley council spokeswoman said the brown footbridge had “helped generations of the local community safely cross the M62”, but that it had now “reached the end of its serviceable life”.
