Roadworks at Tesco Traffic Lights – Delays Likely until next week

Motorists are being advised to expect delays this week due to ongoing roadworks taking place near the Tesco traffic lights on Altcar Road, Formby.

The works, which are being carried out by SP Energy Networks, began on Wednesday 16th October at 1:00pm and are scheduled to continue until Tuesday 22nd October at 4:30pm.

Traffic management is currently in place with a contraflow system, allowing vehicles to pass in both directions but with restricted lanes — meaning congestion is likely during peak times.

The works involve utility repair and maintenance to ensure the continued safety and reliability of the power network in the area. A pedestrian walkway has been provided to maintain safe access on foot throughout the duration of the works.

Drivers are urged to allow extra time for their journeys and to proceed with care when travelling through the affected area.

These essential works are being managed by SP Energy Networks, under the supervision of Sefton Council.
