**Plans to revamp a key route through Anfield are expected to take several months.**
Liverpool City Council is set to commit £4 million in major improvements to Walton Breck Road with a decision due at a cabinet meeting next Tuesday (February 24).
A report recommends awarding a contract to deliver a package of highway upgrades as part of the wider Anfield Regeneration Programme.
The programme focuses on strengthening the community through better connectivity, improved public spaces and investment that supports residents and businesses.
Plans include resurfaced carriageways and footpaths, upgraded pedestrian crossings and enhanced bus stop facilities close to Liverpool FC’s stadium.
Parking arrangements will also be reviewed in response to residents’ feedback.
LFC, Merseytravel, emergency services and the surrounding community have all shaped the final design following a series of consultation events held last year.
Work is scheduled to begin in May, with advance notice provided for any road closures or diversions with work expected to be completed in December this year.
Cllr Nick Small, 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.”
