Local rules
Road works in Wirral
Wirral Council is the highway authority here. Almost every English highway authority now runs a permit scheme under the Traffic Management Act 2004, so works on the road need a permit, applied for through the government's Street Manager service. Minor works usually need 3 working days' notice, standard works 10 and major works 3 months.
Main roads across Wirral include the M53, A41, A59, A550, A552, A554, A561, A565, A5036 and A5139. Work on these usually needs signals or lane closures, often off-peak.
We also cover the neighbouring areas of Liverpool, Cheshire West and Chester, Sefton and Flintshire.
