Warrington's Bridge Street Quarter project moves forward

The latest mile-stone in the multi-million pound redevelopment of Warrington’s Bridge Street Quarter has been reached, with the site being readied for construction work to start.

The Bridge Street Quarter Regeneration project is being delivered by Warrington & Co., on behalf of Warrington Borough Council with development partner Muse Developments.

It will create up to 400 construction jobs and 400 new permanent jobs in the leisure, retail and restaurant sectors when the whole project is fully completed in 2019.

Cllr Mike Hannon, deputy leader of the Borough Council said: “This is another great moment in the regeneration of Warrington town centre. This demonstrates how we are moving forward positively with our plans to revitalise the area.

“The car park on Academy Way to the rear of Time Square has had to be closed to allow for the demolition process to get underway, for which we apologise and hope that it does not cause too much inconvenience, however, there are plenty of car parking spaces available within the multi storey car park further up the road towards Bridge Street”.

Work will commence in earnest on the Bridge Street Quarter scheme early in May with the demolition of the former Time Square to clear the site.

The first element of the Bridge Street Quarter regeneration scheme to be built will be the temporary market hall, on the site of what is currently Time Square. The market will move into this temporary location early in 2017 while the new, permanent market hall is being constructed.
