A major Merseyside road has been given a reopening date following months of work.
Marine Drive in Southport has been partially closed between Marshside Road and Preston New Road since January as Sefton Council has worked to make the road safer for drivers. The closure came after a report from Sefton Council labelled the road as "uneconomical".
The council said: "Over time, the condition of the road surface has deteriorated, which has affected its ride quality and the safe discharge of surface water from the carriageway, despite best efforts to try and maintain its structural integrity through routine repairs and the application of preventative type surface treatments which are now considered uneconomical."
