Marine Drive Southport open again

Contractors have now finished repairing Southport Pier after it was hit by a lorry almost five weeks ago meaning that the Marine Drive is fully open again.

Motorists have been stuck in long queues of traffic at busy times on the Marine Way bridge for the past five weeks.

“A spokesperson for Sefton Council said: “The safety of our pedestrians and road users is paramount and we apologise for any delays these unavoidable works may have caused.”
