MIRFIELD CLOSE, HALEWOOD shut due to skips

Drivers in Halewood are advised to plan their journeys accordingly as Mirfield Close is set to be closed from 13 August 2026 until 19 August 2026, with traffic management in place from 17:05 on the 13th to 22:59 on the 19th. The Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council is responsible for the highway works on Mirfield Close.

The closure, which has been implemented for medium priority works, will be caused by skips being placed on the road, affecting traffic flow in the area. Drivers are advised to seek an alternative route to avoid the area, with traffic management in place to assist in directing traffic. Those planning to use the A57 or surrounding roads are recommended to check real-time traffic updates before embarking on their journey.

The highway authority has stated that the works are necessary to ensure the continued maintenance of the road network, and that they apologise for any inconvenience caused to commuters. Motorists are advised to check traffic apps and websites for the latest updates, as the situation is subject to change. Drivers should also be aware of the designated diversion route, which will be clearly signposted.

In the meantime, local residents and businesses are advised to plan their daily commutes accordingly, taking into account the road closure and any potential delays. Those who rely on public transport may also experience disruptions, and are advised to check with their local transport provider for the latest information.

The Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council will continue to work to ensure that the road is reopened as soon as possible, and that the disruption is minimised. Motorists are urged to exercise caution when navigating the area, and to follow all traffic management instructions.
