DRIVERS are being warned of disruption due to roadworks on a major route through Warrington.

A lane closure is in place on the A49 Winwick Road.

This is heading southbound from Junction Nine Retail Park to the Skoda Garage near the Long Lane junction.

This is due to gas works which started yesterday, Wednesday, with delays expected for another week until Thursday, August 8.

A road closure statement reads: “Cadent is carrying out emergency gas repair works.

“These repairs can take time to resolve, but this is to ensure that we continue to provide the safest and most reliable service to our customers.”
