The road remains closed after a married couple died in flood water
Liverpool City Council has issued an update on the closure of Queens Drive after a couple died in flood water.
Work has been suspended on site since Wednesday, September 27, due to Storm Agnes. Liverpool City Council said crews are expected to return to site today , weather permitting.The council said recent wet weather has slowed down repairs of the carriageway. This includes upgrading gullies on the road which will continue until Friday, October 6.
Plans have also been put forward to install sensors to monitor water levels on Queens Drive and notify the council if the road is about to flood. These sensors would be linked to flashing signage on both sides of the road warning that the route is closed. Queens Drive will remain closed for the next few weeks while this work and investigations continue. The local authority said it will provide a further update when it can say with more certainty when the road will reopen.
