Since the A570 St.Helens Linkway came into operation in 1994, it has become a severely congested corridor in St.Helens, particularly at Sherdley and Sutton Hall (Elton Head Road) roundabouts at certain times of day. Heavy congestion on the junctions also impedes the ability of pedestrians and cyclists to travel safely in the area. Roadworks are currently (March 2019) underway to improve the capacity and safety of this road.
