A new bridge will be part-funded by Liverpool City Council which will spend £200,000 on the project to connect Princes Dock to the new Isle of Man ferry terminal.

The Isle of Man Government says this will provide a more direct link to the city centre for ferry foot passengers than following a route along roads.

Council documents show the bridge will cost a total of £298,138.52.

Developer Liverpool Waters says the bridge will be ready for the opening of the new ferry terminal expected in June 2023.

As Manx Radio reports the development is expected to be ready when the terminal opens.
