The final date for completion of all works at Liverpool’s most famous gateway has been confirmed.
After months of wrangling, collapsed contractors and resignations, Lime Street’s latest upgrade - a segregated cycle lane - opened to the public last month marking the next step in its arduous journey to restoration. Now, the date for the finishing touches on the long-delayed programme of refurbishment has been revealed.
Liverpool Council expects the project to “reach practical completion by December 2022, with some outstanding works to be completed end 2022.” That is according to an update on the Liverpool City Centre Connectivity programme issued to the authority’s environment and climate change select committee ahead of its meeting next week.
