A prospective date for the resumption of a major redevelopment of a Liverpool thoroughfare has been identified.
It was confirmed upon the city securing the right to stage the Eurovision song contest back in October that works on the second stage of upgrades to the Strand would be halted while Europe descends on Liverpool. 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.
In a Liverpool Council cabinet update on progress around the Liverpool City Centre Connectivity programme, a date for commencement of the second phase has now been mooted. It said: “Due to Liverpool hosting Eurovision 2023, a review has been undertaken of works proposed in the City to determine the impact they may have on hosting of the event.
