The A5036 is a road in Merseyside, England, which comprises two sections separated by a gap of around 1.6 miles (2.6 km).[1]
Route

The southern section of the A5036 route heads south from Bootle docks, one block west of the A565 where it is first called Regent Road, then Waterloo Road, then Bath Street. It then regains primary dual carriageway status at its junction with the A5052 King Edward Street, near Princes Dock. The next 1.2 miles form the main route for north–south traffic along the waterfront of central Liverpool, which is known first as New Quay, then George's Dock Gates, Goree, The Strand, Strand Street, Wapping, and Chaloner Street before the main route turns to the east to become the A562 Parliament Street near Wapping Dock. The A5036 continues south as Sefton Street to Brunswick railway station in Dingle.[2]
