WORK is now underway to improve a busy road junction to reduce the amount of time motorists spend in queues. The upgrades to Lingley Green Avenue at the junction with Liverpool Road have now started following the completion of preliminary works. New left-turn lanes will be provided on Liverpool Road heading towards the town centre and on Lingley Green Avenue southbound approaching the junction. Warrington Borough Council says the work will improve journey times through the junction and reduce queuing.
