The city council’s cabinet meeting next week is set to rubber-stamp a £4m package of highway improvements, part of its wider £250m regeneration programme for the Anfield area.
A report going before cabinet on Tuesday 24 February recommends awarding a contract to deliver the upgrades.
Plans include resurfaced carriageways and footpaths, upgraded pedestrian crossings, and enhanced bus stop facilities. Parking arrangements will also be reviewed in response to feedback from local people.
The local authority has worked with AECOM to reach this stage, with consultation being carried out last summer.
The final design has been shaped in partnership with Merseytravel, Liverpool Football Club, emergency services and the community, following a series of consultation events held last year.
Residents’ views have influenced junction layouts, crossing points, matchday traffic management and the timing of construction to minimise disruption.
Should sign-off be given, work is scheduled to begin in May, with advance notice provided for any road closures or diversions. The scheme is expected to take seven months to complete.
Cllr Nick Small, LCC cabinet member for growth and economy, said: “The Anfield Regeneration Programme is an ambitious long-term investment that will deliver real benefits for people living and working in the area.
“Alongside the improvements to Walton Breck Road, we’re developing a range of projects to make better use of local space, attract new businesses and increase the availability of affordable homes.
“We’ve listened closely to residents and businesses throughout this process, and we’re excited to move forward with plans that reflect their priorities and support Anfield’s continued growth.”
