Highways: Construction & Maintenance
Blackburne Place
Our team, in partnership with Tarmac and AECOM, delivered essential infrastructure improvements to Blackburne Place, located in Liverpool’s historic Georgian Quarter. Delivered under the Liverpool City Council 2024/2025 Highways Investment Programme, the scheme balanced modern functionality with heritage preservation. A robust pedestrian and traffic management plan, including our ‘Invisible Build’ approach, ensured minimal disruption and maintained access for residents and businesses throughout. Innovative solutions such as the HALO BIO FastPave single-layer asphalt, featuring biogenic binders and warm-mix technology, were used to reduce emissions, construction time, and material use. We employed low-carbon equipment, including the UK’s first tracked HALO Eco Paver and electric roller, and our on-site Hydrocarbon Analyser to test for contaminants. Over 1,600m² of carriageway was resurfaced, damaged kerbs replaced, footways renewed, and drainage upgraded. Through sustainable design and circular practices, we cut project emissions by 50%, delivering a durable, future-ready road network that supports Liverpool’s net-zero ambitions while respecting the area’s unique character.

Moorgate Junction
Moorgate Junction is set to undergo major infrastructure upgrades at Junction 4 of the M57, Moorgate Road, and East Lancashire Road (A580). HA Civils will deliver the works in phased stages to minimise disruption, prioritising safety, capacity, and sustainable travel. The scope will include full traffic signal upgrades, carriageway widening, new cycle crossings, pedestrian improvements, and a speed limit reduction along the A580. All works will be carried out under strict coordination and communication protocols to ensure efficiency and minimal impact on road users.

Lime Street
The Lime Street redevelopment scheme focused on enhancing one of Liverpool’s most historic roads and key city centre gateways. The crucial project aimed to make the area more efficient, cleaner, and greener, while also improving its aesthetics. The new improvements also meant better connectivity, linking different parts of the city more effectively. Upgrades included enhanced pedestrian crossings, better cycle facilities, secure cycle parking, and a new bus stop outside Lime Street Station.

Liverpool ONE Bus Station project
For the Liverpool ONE Bus Station project, we implemented several key initiatives to significantly reduce the overall carbon footprint. Hydro treated Vegetable Oil (HVO) was used a s a sustainable alternative to diesel, powering our excavators and cutting emissions by up to 90%.We also utilised HVO to power our innovative 20ft 'Eco Cabins,' which provided low-carbon welfare facilities onsite. Additionally, we ensured all waste was carefully segregated for reuse and recycling, to reduce environmental impact.

Cyclops Junction
The Cyclops junction is part of the St Helens Southern Gateway improvements, funded by the Liverpool City Region’s Transforming Cities Fund. In addition to a new 450-car capacity car park, the scheme includes new walkways, ticketing machines, and a station hub to improve access for Lea Green residents. The Cyclops design separates pedestrians and cyclists from motor traffic, reducing collisions and conflicts. Key benefits include signalised cycle-traffic separation, simplified cycle-cycle conflict management, simultaneous pedestrian and cyclist movement, and shorter controlled pedestrian phases. Cyclists can also filter left off the roundabout without signal control.

Greenbank Campus
The Greenbank Site, owned by the University of Liverpool, underwent a major redevelopment starting in 2016, with HA Civils involved in several contracts. The project replaced six buildings with three new student accommodation blocks, providing 1,370 en-suite rooms as part of a £250m masterplan. HA Civils handled earthworks, drainage, retaining structures, external works, hard landscaping, public realm, and Section 278 highway works. The award-winning public spaces, including a landscaped amphitheatre, offer a relaxing sanctuary for students, combining modern design with elements that reflect the university’s historical architecture.

Islington Junction
The Islington Junction project in Liverpool involved extensive traffic signal installation and surfacing works. HA Civils collaborated with Siemens PLC to complete the project on time and within budget. Surfacing was done overnight to minimise disruption, with Liverpool City Council requiring a strict schedule and clear communication. The scope included excavation, road planing, lining, kerb installation, concrete work, and traffic management.

Park Lane Cycle Route
The new cycle route connects Radial Route 10 and National Cycle Network Route 56, part of the Liverpool City Centre Connectivity Scheme. Upgraded footways, street lighting, and road crossings benefit pedestrians. Works included resurfacing, lighting upgrades, a combined footway/cycleway, a puffin crossing, a new toucan crossing, waiting restrictions, and new parking and bus stop installations. The project was funded by the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority Growth Deal’s STEP programme.

Goodison Park Holy Trinity Statue
The project began with reconfiguring the road layout, extending the pavement outside the Church of Saint Luke. A concrete base was formed for the statues, and conservation kerbs, setts, and flags were installed around them, with a tarmac surface laid at the modular paving edge. Original cobbles were reused to create a circle around the statues, referencing the area’s past. Thermoplastic road markings were added to suit the new layout. HA Civils worked with sub-contractors on the statue installation and assisted with the unveiling, attended by the families of Howard Kendall and Alan Ball, who were pleased with the outcome.
