Local Roadworks - Possible Delays

17th July 2025

We have been informed that essential electrical cabling works will be undertaken on Queens Drive and Thomas Drive, involving lane closures and traffic controls outside the hospital site.

These extensive works will be carried out by the contractors in a staged way, beginning on Wednesday 23rd July. They are expected to be completed by Wednesday 5th November.

During this period, some travel disruption in the surrounding area of the hospital site (eg Broadgreen and Childwall) is inevitable with delays and queuing traffic anticipated.

 

Considerations:

  • Please allow extra journey time when attending appointments on the hospital site and/or when visiting relatives. 

  • Please plan your journey accordingly.  

  • To date, no public transport timetable changes or planned route changes have been planned.

 

Key phases of work

Road crossing at Queens Drive

  • Start date: 23rd July 2025

  • Duration: Up to 5 days

  • Traffic impact: Reduction to one lane in each direction over the Rocket Flyover, and the M62 slip road to turn right onto Queens Drive will also be narrowed to a single lane.

 

Central reservation and lane works

  • Estimated start: w/c 28th July 2025

  • Duration: Approximately 7 days

  • Traffic impact: Continued single-lane running in both directions. The Queens Drive gate to the hospital site will be restricted to entrance only – there will be no way to exit the hospital site through the Queens Drive gate. Vehicles should exit via Thomas Drive. Access to the hospital site and the LHCH multi-storey car park from Thomas Drive will be unaffected. 

 

Works along Thomas Drive

  • Provisional start date: 13th August 2025

  • Duration: Expected until 30th September 2025

  • Traffic impact: One lane to remain open in each direction throughout. Parking restrictions will apply where necessary to facilitate safety zones, but no full road closure is expected.

 

Following completion of Phase 3, the scheme will continue through residential areas towards Rocky Lane. The entire project is scheduled to conclude by 5th November 2025.
