Traffic lights at Switch Island are not working after a vehicle 'destroyed' the control box this afternoon with full repairs not expected until next week.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue service warned drivers to expect significant delays and stated that the lights may be out of order for some time. According to traffic news service Inrix, most of the lights are out and will not be fixed until May 13 or May 14.
Traffic has been taken down to one lane and turning restrictions are in place to try and keep traffic flowing.
