Upton bypass blocked by burnt out car 'deliberately' torched by thieves

The Upton bypass was closed earlier this week after a stolen car was torched.

Merseyside Police has appealed for information following a vehicle fire on the Upton bypass earlier this week. The main road was closed by Merseyside Police in both directions on Monday, October 31 because the burnt out car blocked the carriageway.

The road, closed on the bridge over the M53 and by Upton train station, was closed in the early hours according to traffic monitor INRIX. Traffic was diverted away from the bridge down Noctorum Avenue and Manor Drive with a lot of vehicles turning around all together. The delays affected traffic on the Wirral as far as Arrowe Park.
