Road closures: five for Sefton drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around Sefton will have five National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

And one of them is expected to cause delays of between 10 and 30 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that three closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• A5036, from 5am May 26 to 6am June 6, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A5036 westbound, Heysham Road to Netherton Way narrow lanes due to construction improvement.

• A5036, from 8pm April 17 to 6am June 10, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A5036 both directions Park Lane to Netherton Way closure due to construction improvement.

• A5036, from 9pm October 12 2022 to 5am October 12 2023, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A5036 eastbound and westbound, Kirkstone to Netherton - Lane closure for carriageway - Reconstruction/Renewal.

And a further two closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• A5036, from 8am to 6pm on June 5, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A5036 eastbound, Park Lane to Heysham Road for construction improvement/upgrade.

• A5036, from 8am to 5pm on June 11, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A5036 westbound, Switch Island to Copy Lane - lane closure for horticulture.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
