Major city streets across Liverpool will be taking over this month when filming takes place for an under wraps project.
Articulated
Productions Ltd has confirmed they will be shooting scenes for an upcoming
feature film in Liverpool and Wirral, from Monday March 16 until Sunday 29
March.
Liverpool Film Office has been working with the production team for a number of months to source locations for the movie, making sure Liverpool City Region is a must-film location for Articulated Productions.
A small amount
of disruption is expected when road closures are in place around Lime Street
and Regent Road, with these locations being used for major scenes in the film.
Bus passengers
using those services that are directly affected by any road closures should
check timetables and allow more time for their journeys.
Passengers are
also advised that any disruptions to Queens Square Bus Station will be kept to
a minimum and customers will be kept informed.
Roads which will be affected by the filming are:
William Brown Street
This
will be closed to vehicles until Tuesday 24 March, however disabled parking
will be maintained.
Lime Street
From Monday 16 to Wednesday 18 March traffic will be stopped for short
periods throughout the day (no longer than five minutes). This will take place
periodically from 9.30am to 4pm.
Thursday 19 March will see Lime Street (in front of St George’s Hall) closed from 7.30pm until 5.30am. St Johns
Lane and Queens Square Bus Station will close from 10pm to 5.30am on the 30
March.
Regent Road (from Millers Bridge to Blackstone

This road will close on various nights between Wednesday 18
