A main Merseyside road remains shut two days after a massive vegetable oil spillage.
Millers Bridge in Bootle is still shut 48 hours after vegetable oil was spilt across one side of the road. Sefton Council confirmed that the road will remain shut for part of Wednesday, June 8 despite workers being on scene since Monday afternoon, although the road is expected to open later today following cleaning and tests on the road.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service confirmed that they were called to the road following reports of an oil spillage at 9.18am on Monday, June 6 with fire crews having to call Merseyside Police to assist with traffic management. The road was initially shut thanks to work from emergency services before the closure was handed over to Sefton Council.
