Does anyone know why Clatterbridge roundabout was closed yesterday,cordoned off by two police cars. Had to get on the motorway and found that they'd blocked traffic going both ways and there was a large queue of waiting traffic. Happened around 6pm yesterday. Thanks!

The on slip road was closed when I came through yesterday late afternoon as they were doing roadworks in lane 1 just after the junction.

Yeah, I know about that. Just there were two police volvos blocking traffic from Bebington to Clatterbridge so I had to join the motorway towards Eastham, it was empty, no traffic going either way and when I got a bit further down there was another police car and an ambulance stopping traffic from driving up towards Clatterbridge and Liverpool. There was quite a big tailback, and I can only assume they'd blocked traffic the other way as there was no traffic my side either. I thought someone might have jumped off the bridge, as that's happened a few times up there

I just figured something must have gone on to require such a main roundabout being closed as well as the motorway, and to have had so many police cars/ambulances at the scene

More to it than road works if police and ambulances were involved

I was stuck in the traffic jam for one and a half hours. The road was closed at the two-hundred-yard marker before junction three (Arrowe Park Turnoff) in both directions from about 10 10 PM on Friday evening. I was about 6 cars back from the Emergency services vehicle that was displaying the 'DO NOT PASS' sign. While I was there, one ambulance and one fire engine came up the hard shoulder from Wallasey towards Junction three. Some passengers from a car far behind me, decided walking would be quicker and trudged up the hard shoulder dragging suit-cases behind them. The Emergency services turned them back and wouldn't let them pass. Everyone was well behaved until three cars decided they were far more privileged than everyone else and drove up the hard shoulder. They were stopped and made to wait. Shortly afterwards the traffic was allowed to move and the privileged car drivers were still waiting on the hard shoulder as I drove past.
Still no idea why we were stopped, as there’s no news about it anywhere, I’ve heard various rumours, from a loose dog, to a possible jumper, to a crash.
