Warning over road works disruption in city

A £1.3m upgrade of a major Liverpool city centre junction is to begin today (Wednesday October 12).
 
The Islington A580/St Anne Street junction is being resurfaced, the traffic lights and street lighting is being upgraded.
 
The junction, which sits less than half a mile from Lime Street train station, is used for traffic bound for the city centre to and from north Liverpool.

To minimise disruption, major elements of the works will be carried out overnight between 7pm and 6am with off-peak lane restrictions in effect each day from 9.30am to 3.30pm.

Expected to complete by the end of January 2017, the project will be suspended from Friday November 25 in line with the city’s annual Christmas road works embargo until Monday January 9 2017.

The upgrade to the junction is part of Liverpool City Council’s wider £250m Better Roads programme to improve the city’s road infrastructure.
