Incredible footage shows moment Anfield Road roof is removed as £80m project takes next step

The process of removing the old Anfield Road End roof has begun with the £80m redevelopment entering the next stage ahead of its opening in August.

The stadium redevelopment, which will add a further 7,000 seats and increase the ground's capacity to over 61,000, is the third such major scheme of Fenway Sports Group's 13-year tenure on Merseyside and follows the building of a new Main Stand in 2016 and the AXA Training Centre in 2020.

Now, 20 months on from Reds manager Jurgen Klopp providing a ground-breaking dig at the site in September 2021, the development has reached its final stages with new footage from KC Imageworks capturing the stand's current roof being cut in half and later removed by two crawler cranes that have been carefully assembled on the Anfield turf.
