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

And three of them are expected to cause delays of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

• M53, from 9pm February 26 to 5am February 27, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M53 southbound, J1 to J2 - carriageway closure for horticulture.

• M53, from 8pm December 5 2022 to 6am March 21 2023, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M53 northbound, junction 2 to A59 - carriageway closure due to local authority works.

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

• M53, from 8pm March 7 to 5am March 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M53 southbound, J4 to J4 - lane closure for signs - erection.

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