A major road development project that was moved back due to Liverpool hosting the Eurovision Song Contest is set to begin this summer.
Last Autumn Liverpool City Council confirmed that the planned phase two redevelopment of The Strand would no longer go ahead when originally scheduled in the spring. A decision was made to amend the timeline for the multi-million pound project so it didn’t clash with the city’s hosting of the Eurovision Song Contest.
Phase one of the works, completed at the tail end of 2021, saw the busy thoroughfare which runs through the city centre reduced from six lanes to four. A new segregated cycle lane was added along with improved infrastructure for pedestrians, including new trees, benches and crossings.
