NewsAnfield travel update: Walton Breck Road highways improvement scheme

Work has started and will continue until March 2027. 

The scheme focuses on the section of Walton Breck Road between Oakfield Road and Sleepers Hill. The work incorporates the widening of pavements, new crossing points and resurfacing of the main carriageway. 

Throughout the programme, there will be a single-lane carriageway closure in place on Walton Breck Road. Traffic will only run in one direction from Oakfield Road towards the city centre.

Supporters are advised to plan their travel in advance, arrive earlier and check if their usual route is impacted. It will affect those travelling by car and on foot.

Walton Breck Road will also still have the matchday closures in place – 90 minutes before kick-off and one hour after the final whistle.

Post-match, fans in the Sir Kenny Dalglish stand will only be able to exit by turning left onto Anfield Road. There will be no access to Walton Breck Road.

The taxi rank located adjacent to Paisley Gates will be moved temporarily and relocated to Venmore Street.

For fans travelling to the match by car, they can avoid any congestion around the stadium by using the matchday buses, which are close to safe and secure parking, making them a great park and ride option.

There are several express services from Liverpool city centre and Bootle that will get you to and from Anfield. More info on the direct routes here.
