Road closures: four for Wirral drivers this week

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

And three of them are expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing waits of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

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

• A41, from 8pm July 18 to 6am August 9, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M53 northbound and southbound, Mersey Tunnel to Hoole Village - Lane closure for Electrical works.

• M53, from 8pm July 28 to 7am August 13, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M53 northbound and southbound, junction 3 to junction 4 - carriageway closure for carriageway - Reconstruction/Renewal.

And a further two closures will begin over the next seven days:

• M53, from 10pm August 1 to 6am August 2, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M53 northbound and southbound, - works on the Docks Link to M53.

• M53, from 8pm August 15 to 6am August 19, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M53 northbound and southbound, J3 to J3 - carriageway closure for Electrical works.

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