A MAJOR new rail link to Liverpool’s ports is on track to be completed in the new year.
The £7.8m scheme will include the reopening of the Olive Mount tunnel after 20 years, and the completion of a 750-metre stretch of freight link track.
It will mean the main line east of Wavertree Technology Park station will be linked to Seaforth Docks and give better access to the West Coast mainline.
It is hoped that as well as making access to the ports easier, the Olive Mount Chord scheme will also cut congestion on the roads around the ports and surrounding areas.
