Weeks of disruption are expected in the city after workmen downed tools on at least five significant roadwork sites due to a dispute with Liverpool Council.
King Construction, now trading as VIAM, has pulled out of schemes around County Road and Walton Lane, Walton; Great Howard Street, Vauxhall; Kingsley Road, Toxteth; and Byrom Street, Liverpool City Centre.
On Friday the council sent letters to residents and business around County Road saying the works had been due to complete this month but have been delayed due to unforeseen circumstances .
