MOTORISTS have reported facing queues and delays on a main route through Warrington this afternoon, Monday.

Those driving along Wilderspool Causeway are to expect congestion in both directions.

Roadworks began on the route, near to The Saracens Head pub, today, causing disruption through multi-way traffic control signals.

Tailbacks are reported to the junction with Loushers Lane and Gainsborough Road heading towards Stockton Heath.

In the opposite direction, heading towards the town centre, queues are as far back as Nando’s restaurant on London Road.

Loushers Lane, Gainsborough Road, Ellesmere Road, Fairfield Road, Walton Road and Grappenhall Road are all showing to be busy also.

The council says the works are for highway repair and maintenance, and they are expected to last up to and including the whole of Friday, according to a notice by Warrington Borough Council.
