The Widnes–Runcorn Transporter Bridge crossed the river Mersey and Manchester Ship Canal linking the towns of Runcorn and Widnes. Completed in 1905, it was Britain's first transporter bridge and the largest of its type ever built in the world. It continued in use until 22 July 1961, when it was replaced by a through arch bridge, now known as the Silver Jubilee Bridge. The transporter bridge was then demolished.

rdfs:comment	Die Schwebefähre Runcorn (englisch: Widnes–Runcorn Transporter Bridge oder Runcorn–Widnes Transporter Bridge) überquerte den Mersey und den Manchester Ship Canal und verband die Städte Runcorn und Widnes. Sie wurde 1905 fertiggestellt und war die erste Schwebefähre in Großbritannien sowie die größte jemals gebaute ihrer Art in der Welt. Sie blieb bis 1961 in Betrieb und wurde dann durch eine Bogenbrücke ersetzt, die heute als Silver Jubilee Bridge bezeichnet wird. Danach wurde die Schwebefähre abgerissen.

(en) Le pont transbordeur de Runcorn-Widnes (en anglais : Widnes–Runcorn Transporter Bridge ou Runcorn–Widnes Transporter Bridge) est une ancienne structure métallique suspendue à nacelle mobile qui traversait d'un seul jet la rivière Mersey et le Canal de Manchester qui lui est adjacent, reliant les villes de Runcorn (sur la rive gauche) et de Widnes (sur la rive droite). Les seuls vestiges conservés sont les rampes d'accès à la nacelle et les bâtiments de production d'électricité, de gardiennage et de péage. (fr) Hängfärjan Widnes-Runcorn var en hängfärja över floden Mersey och Manchesterkanalen mellan städerna Widnes och Runcorn i Storbritannien. Hängfärjan Widnes-Runcorn började byggas 1901. Den öppnade för trafik 1905 och var då den första hängfärjan i Storbritannien och var med sitt spann på 300 meter den längsta i världen. Den togs ur bruk 1961, efter det att hade byggts, och revs därefter. Kvar idag finns kraftstationen, kontorsbyggnaden vid Mersey Road i Widnes samt ramperna vid slutet av Waterloo Road i Runcorn respektive Mersey Road i Widnes. (sv)
