The Warrington Transporter Bridge The transporter bridge was constructed in 1915 and fell into disuse in approximately 1964. The bridge was constructed to connect the two parts of the large chemical and soap works of Joseph Crosfield and Sons. It was originally designed to carry rail vehicles up to 18 tonnes in weight, and was converted for road vehicles in 1940. In 1953, it was further modified to carry loads of up to 30 tonnes. It was the second of two transporter bridges across the Mersey at Warrington. The first was erected in 1905 slightly to the north of the existing bridge and was later transformed into a pipeline bridge, before it was demolished.
