WIRRAL'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 over the next two weeks:

• M53, from 9pm March 31 to 5am April 1, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M53 both directions four to 5 - lane closure for barriers - permanent.

• M53, from 9pm April 2 to 5am April 3, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M53 southbound, four to 5 - lane closure for barriers - permanent.

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