New images show how one part of Liverpool city centre has continued to transform amid the lockdown of our region due to coronavirus.
The area which used to be home to the Churchill Way flyovers now appears almost unrecognisable as work to clear debris from the structures and alter the roads around them has progressed throughout this year.
The flyovers themselves were deconstructed throughout the second half of last year after structural surveys found they had severe defects.
The development of a long term plan for the area to the north of the commercial district, at the top of Dale Street, is currently underway.
But it has already been transformed, with pictures showing new off street spaces in Fontenoy Street car park and areas near Central Library completely cleared of debris from the flyovers.
City mayor Joe Anderson had previously called the flyovers a relic and said their safe removal was the only option for the city.
Speaking last year, he said: "Mayor Anderson said: "The Churchill Way flyovers are a relic of a cancelled highways plan from half a century ago and given the overwhelming weight of evidence from independent experts about their safety, their removal was the only viable option."
The removal cost the council £6.75m, with the method chosen to protect nearby features as well as collections in museums that sit metres away and were vulnerable to damage from vibrations during destruction.
Council cabinet member for highways Sharon Connor has previously said the removal of the flyovers is one of the most complex engineering projects in the city's history because of the buildings and roads which lay in close proximity to the flyovers.
