Netherton Way Closes Nights for 12 Days

Drivers who use Netherton Way in Bootle during evening and early morning hours will need alternate routes for nearly two weeks. A section of Netherton Way between Park Lane and Church Road closes nightly starting Monday, January 19, 2026, officials said. The closure affects 12 consecutive nights, with work scheduled from 7:00pm to 5:30am each night.

Daytime Traffic Continues Normally

The overnight-only closure schedule allows daytime traffic to flow without disruption on the busy North West corridor. Officials said the nighttime work window minimizes impact on commuters and businesses that rely on the route during peak hours. The specific nature of the roadwork wasn't detailed in available information. Road agencies typically schedule overnight closures for projects requiring full lane access while reducing congestion effects.

12-Night Work Schedule Detailed

The closure runs for 12 consecutive nights through early February, with each night's work window lasting 10.5 hours. Officials said the Park Lane to Church Road section will be completely closed during work hours, though specific detour routes weren't provided in available information. The consistent nightly schedule from 7:00pm to 5:30am allows contractors to maintain project momentum while reopening the road for morning rush hour traffic. Cost estimates and the contractor performing the work weren't immediately available.

Work Begins Monday Evening

The first closure takes effect Monday evening, January 19, at 7:00pm, with the road reopening by 5:30am Tuesday morning. Officials shared the closure information through social media channels to alert drivers in advance. The 12-night schedule means the final closure should occur in early February, though officials didn't specify an exact completion date.
