Traffic chaos about to hit Arrowe Park, Woodchurch Road, Storeton lane, Whitehouse Lane areas and possibly adjacent areas

Why they wait till the holidays are over and schools back to start ripping up and blocking roads.

Big signs up around arrowe park advising traffic chaos and find alternative route starting Friday 30th August for 4 days.

We found an alternative route (Storeton Lane) only to find that will be closed 3rd September for 1 day and then Whitehouse lane closed for a day.

A551 Arrowe Park Road both ways closed due to building fire between Leeswood Road and Arrowe Brook Road. Police directing traffic. Police say closures will remain in place for several days Affecting traffic near to Arrowe Park Hospital although traffic is coping well on surrounding routes.

Egerton Street both ways closed due to unsafe building between A554 Rowson Street and Duke Street. The road has been closed since Monday due to a mobile phone mast becoming unstable on top of a church. There is no estimated time of re-opening.

M53 is down to two lanes in both directions between Clatterbridge and Prenton while some kind of work in done on the central reservation.

Glad she's OK. I must have been right behind, as traffic stopped I shot off at J8 and rejoined at J9 to an empty carriageway as everything was stuck behind her
