M6, M53 and M56 closures set to cause delays this week

Drivers are facing a week of disruption as a number of motorways in Merseyside will be partially closed.

A large section of the M6 will be closed in one direction for two days between Haydock (junction 23) and Orrell (junction 26).

Highways England is closing the section of motorway for planned roadworks and has warned drivers to "expect disruption".
