Work has begun on the second phase to improve a route in north Liverpool, according to the Liverpool Express.
It involves the resurfacing of the A59 Rice Lane between Mosedale Road up to and including the Hornby Road junction, along with improvement to traffic signals and footways.
The work is part of a £2.7million scheme on the Walton Corridor, the first phase of which – resurfacing Walton Vale/Warbreck Moor between Hornby Road and Park Lane – was completed in at the end of November 2014. Work was suspended in the run-up Christmas to maintain a free flowing highway network and avoid disruption.
Work on the new phase, which is being carried out by King Construction, is expected to take a maximum of eight weeks to complete. Part of the works will take place at night to minimise disruption and there will be some temporary night time road closures. Lane restrictions and temporary traffic signals will be in operation for daytime working
Merseytravel and bus operators have been consulted to minimise disruption to public transport during the work.
The A59 is the first road to benefit from an £80m investment in the city’s highways network. The programme will include improvements to major routes with Islington and surrounding roads; Smithdown Road (from Gainsborough Road to Queens Drive) and Ullet Road (from Smithdown Road to Croxteth Gate) being scheduled for improvement in the next few months.
