POLICE at Warrington are asking drivers to show a little patience tomorrow (Sunday) when the Warrington Half Marathon takes place.
Around 2,500 runners are set to take to the streets of South Warrington and police are warning motorists that many roads in the area will be closed for much of the day while others may be subject to delays.
Inspector Sarah Heath said: “We are once again asking motorists to be patient as some congestion on local roads is inevitable.
“There will be a number of road closures in place, but there will be alternative routes for motorists and I would encourage people to familiarise themselves with those roads that form part of the course, as well as those that will remain open to traffic.
“Of course we want everyone to be able to go about their business in as normal a way as possible, but the safety of runners and others using the roads during the event is paramount and we are asking for the co-operation of all road users in the area.”
Several local roads will have full/partial closures in place however access for emergency services will be maintained at all times.
The following local roads will experience full/partial road closures:
• Knutsford Road east of entrance to Victoria Park and at the junction with Wash Lane
• Cantilever Bridge Station Road
