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. Â
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.
