New photos reveal the extent of the work on the delayed Lime Street road scheme.
The scheme is expected to finally be completed by the summer, having initially been slated for finalisation in the spring.
Liverpool Council said the amended network would be delayed slightly further.

The Lime Street Project has been plagued by setbacks since NMCN Ltd, the previous contractor, went into administration in October last year.
Liverpool City Council formally terminated the company's contract after it was revealed it failed to sign off its 2020 accounts and secure a re-financing of the business.
Mayor Joanne Anderson previously acknowledged the scheme had been “very controversial,” but said the collapse of the main contractor had given councillors the chance to listen to residents and make changes.
Cllr Dan Barrington, Cabinet Member for Climate Change and Environment, also apologised for the continued delay during a meeting of the local authority cabinet in February.
He said: “The collapse of the contractors was a huge blow and I want to apologise for the further delays this has caused.
“I know it’s been a very frustrating time for people coming into the city centre and particularly for businesses.”
The project involves a major redesign of the iconic route, reducing it to a single lane of traffic in each direction, with more open space created in the area outside St George's Hall.
Because of this an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) is to be put in place for up to 18 months as part of changes to the original scheme at Lime Street.
Buses will now be able to travel in both directions past St George’s Hall with further alterations including enhanced pedestrian crossings, improved cycle facilities, secure cycle parking, a bus stop outside Lime Street station, disabled parking facilities and the introduction of a 20 mph zone, together with access-only restrictions on Lime Street, between Queens Square Bus Station and London Road.
The ETRO will not be implemented until final works are completed by an approved contractor.
