WIRRAL'S motorists will have three road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

And one of them is expected to cause delays of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that three closures are due to start over the next two weeks:

• M53, from 9pm April 30 to 5am May 2, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M53 both directions, junction 3 to junction 5 - lane closure for inspection/survey.

• M53, from 9pm May 1 to 6am May 3, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M53 northbound, jct one to Docks Road lane closures and carriageway closures.

• M53, from 9pm May 13 to 5am June 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M53 both directions, junction 5 to junction 4 - lane closure for carriageway - reconstruction/renewal.

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