The A5040 is a short A-road in Liverpool city centre.
The road starts on the A5036 opposite the Albert Dock in Liverpool and then runs along Liver Street, to end on the B5339 in the Liverpool One shopping area.
With the pedestrianisation of the city centre, the former route of the A5040 was cut back considerably - its 1922 route crossed the centre. Originally, the A5040 started on the A561 then headed north along Paradise Street and Whitechapel to reach Victoria Street. It crossed that road at an angle to end on the A57 William Brown Street by the Queensway Tunnel entrance.
