A series of road closures are taking place in the Lime Street area as a long-running revamp of the iconic city gateway enters its final phase.
The troubled project to regenerate the area outside Lime Street Station and St George's Hall - which aims to create more space for cycling and walking - has hit a number of problems. The biggest issue came last year when the council's main contractor on the job, NMCN, went into administration.
The redesign project will see Lime Street reduced to a single carriageway in each direction and will include a new cycle lane, bike shelter, an expanded plateau and new crossings for St George's Hall, a new bus link, 33 new trees and new seating. It is hoped the improvements will make life easier for the huge numbers of people who use the famous train station and the attractions in the surrounding area.
