The M53 Moreton Spur westbound will be closed overnight for almost three weeks from next month while National Highways carries out resurfacing work.
As reported by the Liverpool Echo, closures will run nightly from 9 pm to 6 am from September 21 until October 10.
The order comes into force on September 20 and allows the same overnight hours to be used on subsequent nights if needed until the works are completed.
The closure will affect the westbound carriageway from the junction 2a exit slip road to the Moreton Road Bridge, which covers the westbound approach to the Moreton Spur Roundabout.
All vehicles will be stopped from entering the area during closure hours, unless they are emergency services, traffic officers, or National Highways works vehicles.
Alternative routes will be signposted showing the diversion routes through M53 junctions and local roads.
National Highways has reportedly said the closure is necessary to allow resurfacing to be carried out in a safe way for workers and road users.
If you're planning journeys to Moreton and nearby areas in this time frame at night or in the early morning, please leave extra time for travel and queuing near diversion routes. And most importantly, check your route in advance.
The order can be in place for up to 18 months, but work is only expected to take those few weeks when the closures are active. Closures will apply only at times shown by traffic signs.
