Seymour Street & Copperas Hill - CCMS Project
This £1.5m scheme created two-way traffic along Copperas Hill and Seymour Street and remove St Vincent Way as a highway. It simplifies the junction of London Road with Seymour Street allowing Merseytram Line 1 to go along London Road. It will also enable development of the site of the former Swan Public House.
The main project aims are:
- creation of two-way traffic along the full length of Copperas Hill;
- removal of the gyratory system around Seymour Street and St Vincent Way to simplify the junction at London Road;
- the widening of Seymour Street to allow two-way traffic;
- the closure of St Vincent Way as a highway;
- landscaping of St Vincent Way;
- the closure of St Vincent Street at its junction with London Road leaving it closed to through traffic and acting as a servicing street;
- realignment of upper Lord Nelson Street to run parallel with Lord Nelson Street;
- new pedestrian crossings over Seymour Street and Russell St to improve road safety;
- re-shaping of the landscaped area opposite Seymour Terrace to accommodate the works including new tree planting.
The project was constructed in five phases between April and winter 2006.
