The second stage of a major redevelopment of a city road has been delayed until after the city stages Eurovision.
The multi-million pound revamp of The Strand from Bath Street to James Street was finalised in November last year after work began in June 2020. In a bid to improve links for pedestrians and cyclists between the city centre and waterfront, new trees and public spaces were installed.
However, it was confirmed the second phase of the project will now not go ahead until the city hosts Eurovision next May. Liverpool was chosen as the UK host city last week, stepping in for last year’s winner Ukraine, who cannot host owing to the ongoing Russian invasion. Before last year’s completion, the Strand has remained largely unchanged since the 1950s.
