Diversions in place on M53, in both directions, throughout the night until August 11

DIVERSIONS will be in place along the M53 throughout the night from July 12 to August 11, as the Highways Agency carries out maintenance work.

The supporting beams of Bidston Moss viaduct are being looked at by the agency, leading to the closures, which will be in effect from 8pm to 5am.

The M53 will be closed southbound from the Mersey Tunnels approach road to where the southbound entry slip road at Junction 1 joins the motorway.

The northbound M53 will be closed from Junction 1 to the Mersey Tunnels approach road overnight between 8pm and 5am.

Clearly signed diversions will be in operation.

Heading southbound, drivers will travel via the Docks Link Road to the A554 roundabout, then back to the M53 via the southbound access slip road.

Northbound the diversion is via the exit slip road at Junction 1, the A554 roundabout and the Wallasey Dock Link North.
