Road Improvement Schemes on A59 Nearing Completion

As sections of work on the A59 approach completion, overnight road closures are needed to complete road resurfacing for two weeks starting the night of 29thSeptember.

Works are being phased, with the first week seeing overnight closures Southbound from Robbins Island to Dodds lane, and the second week starting 6thOctober seeing closures from Dodds Lane to Robbins Island. Fully signed diversions will be in place.

Overnight closures will be from 7pm to 3am to ensure that the disruption will be as limited as possible. Motorists are advised to plan their journeys accordingly.

Aim of the scheme

The scheme includes junctions, highway, footway and cycleway improvements along the A59 Northway in Maghull.

Approaching completion is the improvement to the Kenyons Lane junction with the improved cyclops junction, which provides safer routes for pedestrians to cross the A59.

A spokesperson for Sefton Council said:

“Further improvements include highway and footway works and new segregated cycle routes which will support those living in the area and future residents of the new housing development.

“They will have nicer journeys moving about the area, whether it is for crossing the A59 to schools or nurseries, work or popping to the shops, these journeys will feel safe when walking, cycling or wheeling near a major road.”
