AN important road link around St Helens town centre re-opened this week.

Work has been completed on replacing the bridge in Standish Street which had been subject to a weight limit. Traffic will now have another route to bypass the town centre where major roadworks are taking place as part of the creation of a pedestrian piazza in Victoria Square.
