The map outlines a 12-month rolling programme of improvements to give residents and businesses an idea on the nature of the repairs, how much they costs and how long the upgrade will take.
At a meeting on Wednesday, the Council approved a new £200m package of works aimed at tacking the deteriorating quality of the city's roads, in addition to a previous £300m commitment which began in 2014.
So far, over one hundred roads have been upgraded so far, including the recent completion of a £1.6m upgrade to Park Lane as part of creating a continuous cycle route from Toxteth to the Baltic Triangle, connecting to Otterspool, and the ongoing construction of a new dual carriageway to benefit the development of the city's north docks.
Mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson, said: "Everyone who drives around Liverpool – including me – knows that many of our roads are not fit for purpose and large scale investment is the only solution.

"We have constantly lobbied Government but their response to the issue of potholes and poor road surfaces in major cities – compared to motorways and major routes in mainly rural areas – has been a huge smack in the face to the economic engines of this country.
"High quality roads are the arteries of any modern, fast-growing city like Liverpool, and I am also concerned about the safety of road users and I don't want to see anyone injured or killed due to weaving around potholes.
"This new interactive map is a great way for people to see where the works are taking place, when and what exactly is being done."
Cllr James Noakes added: "Addressing the state of our highways network is a fundamental necessity with the added bonus that it will create jobs as well as generating new apprenticeship opportunities.
"Clearly, the deteriorating state of our roads is a national problem, but to do nothing in Liverpool will simply see the cost of fixing our roads soar in future years and passporting this responsibility and cost would be a dereliction of duty .
"Better roads are needed for travelling to work, to education, to leisure opportunities and to see family no matter if you are walking, cycling, driving, jumping a taxi or taking the bus. It is vital for the city today and the city's growth. This interactive map will be one more useful tool for residents and businesses to see what is happening and to make necessary changes in advance of works to reduce any inconvenience."
