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

But the news isn't too bad, with all of them only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• 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.

And a further two closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• A41, from 9.30am to 3.30pm on May 29, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A41 southbound, M53 to A41 lane one closure due to repairs.

• A41, from 9.30am to 3pm on May 30, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A550 northbound and southbound, Hooton Green to M53, junction 5 lane closures due to.

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