The Mersey bridge, executed by FCC Construcción, has been the winner of the prestigious Bronwfield Awards 2020, in the Best infrastructure and Best re-use materials categories.

This project was already awarded in 2019 by the International Association of Bridges and Structural Engineering (IABSE for its acronym in English), as the best bridge in the world. In addition to these awards, it has received other distinctions such as in the "Infrastructure" and "Overall Project of the Year" categories of the prestigious RICS North West awards. In addition, the Mersey Bridge has been featured in the prestigious New Civil Engineer magazine. In the main article of the magazine, a description was made of the new bridge as well as the main objective of this great civil work, recognized by KPMG among the 100 most important infrastructure projects in the world.

The bridge has a total length of 2,248 meters, with a central cable-stayed section of approximately 1 kilometer and two access viaducts seamlessly connected to the central part. The central section has 4 spans supported by three pylons in the Mersey estuary. This singular work has a singular design due to the different heights of the pylons. The central pylon reaches 80 meters high and is lower than the other two pylons, with 110 meters on the north side and 125 m on the south side, 1,296 kilometers of cables connected with these piles to the deck of the bridge have been used. The new road network includes a total of 12 bridges and 7 new links, with 127,425 cubic meters of concrete used in the work. The work has been carried out with the highest environmental standards, the design of the bridge has followed the premise of minimal impact on the environment, 1,423,225 tons of materials have been recovered and reused in construction.

During the entire process of construction, operation and maintenance of the new bridge, around 4,600 people have been employed both directly and indirectly. The project will benefit not only the Liverpool region area, with a population of over 1.6 million, but also the North West of England.
