A MAIN road in Warrington has been partially blocked due to emergency repairs taking place.

Delays are building along Chester Road in the Walton area of town this morning, Monday.

This is due to the road being partially blocked both ways as emergency repair works are being carried out 'near to Pool Lane'.

A council spokesperson has confirmed that the repair works were scheduled to take place and be carried out by United Utilities as replacement works for properties situated on Chester Road.

However these were scheduled to be completed yesterday, Sunday.

They added: "We’re currently liaising with United Utilities over completion timescales."

Queues of traffic are forming along the route currently.
