Major roadworks scheme on Liverpool and Knowsley border could last five months

A road improvement scheme worth hundreds of thousands of pounds is to get underway on the Liverpool-Knowsley border next week.

As part of its multi-million pound highways investment programme, Liverpool Council has enlisted contractors to begin work on a major upgrade of Bowring Park Road for up to 20 weeks. The scheme, which has been funded by Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, will include a resurfacing of the road network.

An upgrade of the highway drainage gullies, installation of new crossings, pavement upgrades and improvements to existing bus stops that will include new shelters at Chelwood Road shops will be included as part of the work that could last up to five months. In March last year, Liverpool Council signed off on almost £25m last week to repair more than 100 roads across the city as part of its highways investment programme.
