15 new Anfield Road expansion photos as stand continues to take shape

Work on the expansion of the Anfield Road End has continued into 2023, with just months until the redevelopment is due to be completed.

The latest images, taken on Tuesday, January 24, show the rapid progress that continues to be made by contractors on the site.

The expansion, which is in line to cost at least £80 million and add a further 7,000 seats to the stadium’s capacity, is still planned to be completed in time for next season.

At the end of last year, plans to remove the existing roof from the Anfield Road End during the World Cup were postponed, and it later emerged that the roof cladding sub-contractor had gone into administration.

However, in terms of cladding, a top sheet and a soffit sheet are already in place, with progress still being made with regard to the roofing and overall structure.
