Coronavirus halts Liverpool's Anfield redevelopment
The HinduLiverpool has halted its planned redevelopment of a stand at Anfield for a year in response to the coronavirus crisis. The Premier League leader said on Monday the pandemic had seen it call a halt to work on the Anfield Road stand that will increase the capacity of the ground to 61,000. “We have experienced a number of delays to the planned project as a direct result of the COVID-19 lockdown,” Liverpool chief operating officer Andy Hughes told the club’s website. “The complex build programme for Anfield Road is an 18-month process and needs two clear summer closed season windows in order for it to be successful. “This is why we are pausing on the project for at least 12 months so the earliest we could complete the programme is summer 2023 rather than summer 2022 as originally planned.” Liverpool needs just two more wins to claim its first English championship in 30 years.
