Network Rail said severe corrosion was found on a structure that carried overhead wires over all four lines, stopping trains from passing underneath and forcing the station to close on Sunday.
A spokesman said: “We have worked as quickly as possible to carry out repair work to the structure today and have a schedule of work to complete overnight that will allow us to reopen Liverpool Lime Street tomorrow morning.
“The lines will remain closed for the rest of today. I would like to apologise for the disruption caused and thank passengers for their patience while we carry out the repairs.”
