Sefton road closures: two for motorists to avoid this week

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

But the news isn't too bad, with both 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 are due to start this week:

• A5036, from 9pm August 20 to 5am August 21, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A5036 westbound, princess roundabout to Park Lane - Lane closure for drainage.

• A5036, from 9pm August 21 to 5am August 22, slight delays (under 10 minutes): 7 northbound, junction 6 to Switch Island - Lane closure for drainage.

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