Many years ago I was told that, during the second world war, the Americans wanted to demolish and widen both Orrell Park bridge and Walton Vale itself so that there was an alternative route to the docks. Unfortunately/fortunately the war ended before the plans could be carried out.

On a serious note, that bridge must be the biggest bottle-neck for bus routes on Merseyside and there are no plans to alleviate the problem as far as I know.
