Scottish Power is carrying out emergency repairs on a major cable fault, resulting in a full northbound closure on Great Howard Street between the Paisley Street area and Saltney Street.
Road users are asked to allow additional time when making journeys around the area and use alternative routes where possible. Diversions will be signposted in the area, particularly during peak hours in the morning and evening.
Everton vs Chelsea Match Day
Additional congestion is expected on Saturday 17 October as Everton host a home fixture against Chelsea, with kick-off at 12.30pm.
Leeds Street, Vauxhall Road, Scotland Road and Regent Road are expected to be busier than usual. Boundary Street will be made one-way heading towards the stadium from 9am to 12.30pm to help keep everyone safe as they travel to and from Hill Dickinson.
After the match, traffic management arrangements will be adjusted to help supporters and vehicles leave the stadium area safely and efficiently. Traffic management teams will be positioned along the route, with police support available where required.
Anyone travelling to the match is encouraged to use public transport, as this is the most reliable way to travel through the city. Stadium shuttle buses will operate on a diverted route via Vauxhall Road and Boundary Street. Supporters using the shuttle service should expect some delays due to wider road closures and increased traffic levels.
Visitors booked into West Quay or Nelson Dock car parks will be contacted directly by Everton Football Club with travel information. Full matchday travel details are available on the Everton website.
Merseyrail Engineering Work
Due to planned engineering work on the Merseyrail network, rail replacement bus services will operate between Hunts Cross and Moorfields stations, with no bus stop at Liverpool Central.
The works form part of a £3.5 million project to strengthen and waterproof four tunnels carrying Northern Line services into Liverpool from the south. Anyone affected is encouraged to check their route before travelling and allow additional time for their journey.
