Road Closure: 497957 — Warrington

A high-severity road closure is set to affect the 497957 road in the Warrington area, with the National Highways Closure — 497957 scheduled to take place from 22:00 on 28 July 2026 to 04:00 on 29 July 2026. The closure, which is part of National Highways' Strategic Road Network, is being implemented by National Highways, the organisation responsible for maintaining and improving the country's major highways. As a result, drivers are advised to plan their journeys in advance and consider using alternative routes to avoid potential disruption.

The closure is likely to cause significant delays, particularly for those travelling during the late evening and early morning hours. National Highways is urging drivers to check traffic apps and websites for the latest information on traffic conditions before setting out on their journey. By doing so, drivers can plan their route in advance and avoid the affected area, helping to minimise congestion and reduce journey times. Additionally, drivers can use sat nav systems or online mapping services to find the most up-to-date traffic information and plan their route accordingly.

National Highways is working to minimise the impact of the closure, but drivers are still advised to allow extra time for their journey and to be patient when driving through the area. The organisation is also working to ensure that diversion routes are clearly signposted, making it easier for drivers to navigate the area. However, it is still important for drivers to be aware of the closure and to plan their route in advance to avoid any potential disruption.
