UPDATE: A critical section of Allerton Road in Liverpool has been closed immediately due to urgent electrical repairs, significantly impacting local traffic. This closure, effective from Thursday, November 20, 2025, until Sunday, November 30, 2025, will affect the junction at Yewtree Road and Booker Avenue, and is expected to last for at least 11 days.
Authorities have confirmed that all vehicles will be barred from this section of Allerton Road, a vital route for motorists heading to popular locales like Allerton Manor Golf Club and Fletcher’s Sport Bar. The road is also crucial for accessing numerous shops, bars, and restaurants along the main stretch leading to Smithdown Road.
A notice from Liverpool City Council states, “This order will be operative from November 20 to November 30, or for such a lesser time as dictated by the early completion of the works.” To mitigate disruption, a signed diversion will be in place throughout the closure.
Local Liberal Democrat councillors have echoed the city’s announcement, emphasizing the necessity of these urgent repairs. “An emergency traffic order has been granted to close Allerton Road for the next 11 days to enable urgent electrical repair work,” they stated. The closure is set to end on Sunday, November 30, but the road will reopen sooner if work is completed ahead of schedule.
The impact of this closure on traffic flow in the area is expected to be significant, with many drivers facing detours. Local businesses could also feel the strain as patrons may find it challenging to access the popular dining and entertainment spots in the vicinity.
