Every week the ECHO reports on motorway closures.

The M56, M6, M53, M57, M58 and M62, which run through Merseyside, will not see any closures this week. Many weeks during the year, National Highways repair the region's roads.

This week there will be no closures according to the National Highways journey planning tool. This means the M56, M6, M53, M57, M58 and M62 will not be impacted.
