Sefton road closures: six for motorists to avoid over the next fortnight

Sefton's motorists will have six road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

But the news isn't too bad, with all of them only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes.

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

• A5036, from 9.30am August 9 to 3.30pm August 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A5036 Bridge Road roundabout lane closure due to communication works.

• A5036, from 8pm July 31 to 6am August 19, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A5036 eastbound, Heysham Road to Copy Lane lane one closure due to drainage.

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

• A5036, from 9pm August 18 to 5am August 19, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A5036 westbound, Hawthorne Rd to Docks - lane closure for drainage.

• A5036, from 9pm August 19 to 5am August 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A5036 westbound, Switch to Copy Lane - lane closure for drainage.

• A5036, from 7am to 5pm on August 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A5036 eastbound and westbound, Seaforth roundabout and Netherton Road lane closures due to general maintenance.

• A5036, from 5pm August 21 to 1am August 23, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A5036 both directions Hawthorne Rd to Netherton Way - lane closure for communications on behalf of National Highways.

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