Why can’t they close the m53 northbound by Clatterbridge junction at 22h30? Some of us work until 10pm and then we must drive 20 mph all
The way home and get home late after a tiring day at the warehouse ! All no warning only 1 Mike from the closure
Traffic
M53 southbound 2 lanes closed after vehicle overturned. Near Vauxhall plant.
They keep closing the slip roads like junction 3 of a night, but nothing ever changes. How many times do they have to revisit. Feels like make work.
And there is never any advance warning so you can plan a better route. Last night at junction 8 they diverted trucks down narrow lanes.
Time to stop or at least ensure 1 lane is kept open. These diversions add large amounts of time to my journey.
M53 at Appleton thorn heading Manchester bound is at a standstill. Major incident. Zero movement for over an hour and looks like several more before it’s starts
M53 South closed by police between J9 and JQP.

Delays junction 1 wallasey not sure if it a accident or not
M53 between 4 and 2 northbound. Traffic crawling all 3 lanes due to an accident. Police & fire brigade on scene. Traffic is moving at a very very slow pace.
M53 closed heading west from J11 (at 10pm Sat 15th May 2021) – no warning, just narrows to 1 lane, then sweeps you off onto the M56 without explanation or option to exit in advance unless you have pyschic powers. I found myself headed to Manchester when I was only a minute away from Chester and with no diversions marked, had to troop around to find my way home via back roads.
M53 Bebington Junction. Traffic held due to accident.
M53 Northbound after junction 8 there is a delay with cars at a standstill, police are passing.
Something in the right lane on the M53 southbound between junctions 4-5, looks like it has fallen off the back of a vehicle
