The tunnel mouth itself - unlike Liverpool, it's not the arch of the tunnel, but a rectangular opening. The curved tunnel roof appears a short way inside. The elaborate carving in the stone above the tunnel mouth is typical of the Queensway's architecture. More recently, it has been fitted with lane control signals allowing closures and even tidal flow use, and the road markings to encourage safe spacing of vehicles.
