An emergency closure of a busy road is expected to continue into next week due to an ongoing gas leak
The southbound lanes of Queens Drive, near Townsend Avenue in Walton, were cordoned off on Tuesday, March 28, after a member of the public reported smelling gas in the area. Engineers from gas company Cadent remain onsite trying to repair the leak, believed to be coming from a pipe 3m under the road.
The company has warned people to expect the excavation to continue into next week as they continue to work round-the-clock at the 9m by 3m site - and that the ongoing closure is likely to affect the Everton vs Tottenham match on Monday.
