Several roads throughout the Wirral are to be closed throughout April and May due to a planned upgrade to the local energy network.
SP Energy Networks has started a £3m upgrade to the electricity network in Birkenhead which will they say will ensure a 'safe, reliable and resilient' supply of electricity for people living in the area for the foreseeable future. The project will replace overhead powerlines with underground cables between the Birkenhead and Prenton grid energy substations.
The company say their works have been scheduled specifically to minimise potential disruption. The first will begin on the week beginning April 18 and will be complete in late June.
