The deck spans over the main channel, which is approximately 24 metres wide. There is a minimum headway/air draft of 2.35 metres, based on the proposed soffit level of 8.65m A.O.D and water level at mean high water springs (MHWS) of 6.30 metres. The River Mersey at this location is only tidal during spring tides. For the remainder of the year the River Mersey is fluvial, resulting in a headway/air draft of 4.65 metres based upon the proposed soffit level of 8.65 metres A.O.D and mean water level of 3.70 metres.
The navigable channel at the bridge is 24m wide.
