ROADS near to the Wallasey Tunnel will be closed to traffic for a short time during next weekend's tunnel 10k.
Around 2,000 runners will be taking part in the race next Sunday, May 31, raising funds for St John's Hospice and RNLI.
The event starts in Pall Mall, Liverpool City Centre at 10am and participants will pass through the Kingsway/Wallasey Tunnel.
Wirral roads will be affected between 8.30am and 11am after which time the roads will be reopened to traffic.
Runners will exit the tunnel via Oakdale Road and continue along Dock Road and Birkenhead Road, passing the Wallasey Ferry Terminal to access the Egremont Promenade.
The finish line is at the other end of the Promenade at New Brighton.
The Dock Road has a partial closure - it is not closed to traffic heading toward the Wallasey Tunnel from Four Bridges/Tower Road.
Birkenhead Road is closed from Four Bridges to the Ferry Terminal but is accessible to residents via Kelvin Road at all times.
A full diversionary route will be in operation whilst the race is in progress.
