Tower road. Birkenhead and now Dock road - 6th Sep 2020 12:53pm
So as most of you already know the Tower road is closed to traffic, from July 2020 till Feb 2021, I thought this was something to do with sewer drains but i went over to day and had a closer look, for now most of the work seems to be around the Met College. They have rows of black plastic tubes below the road surface which again i thought was to get rid of excess water, and on visiting Wirral Councils site and reading the information with regards this work.
"Description of the scheme.

Reduce the speed of vehicles, improving road safety!
Create new street design that is adaptable and suitable for the future,
Cost £3.2 million"
There's been some money spend over the years on this stretch of road?, still say they built that College in the wrong place. But what i am worried about now is the sign i saw on the dock road near Duke street bridge, informing us as of the 7th Sept for 23 weeks work will be carried out there, can't find any information on the Wirral site, so don't know what is involved but for six months its going to be major, so if this is the case there's going to be a lot of angry drivers over the next six months, not to mention the green house gases if we are all stuck in traffic queues trying to get to work.
