observer Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Finished up in a queue of traffic along Battersby Lane, which was backing up from Bridge Foot. So thought to myself, if this is how bad it is now, what's going to happen when tolls are placed on the two Widnes bridges ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy51 Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 You're better on foot these days or get one of the scooters that all the kids are using . Maybe even a skateboard ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Obs, there was a bad accident which closed the A49 in both directions at Stretton and also another one on the Warburton Bridge forcing the closure of the bridge too.... both around tea time. These caused traffic congestion everywhere with them being main through routes. I hope those involved in the accidents are ok and not seriously hurt....

asperity Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 I don't know, these inconsiderate people having accidents and delaying Obs like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted September 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Diz, this was earlier than that, and sadly now the norm - queues in Battersby Lane, and around the Island, Orford Laneski. Getting back to the question, can't see two toll bridges in Widnes improving matters - can you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 It might make Penketh Road quieter though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Padgate Lane / Green Lane junction was a bit of a nightmare at 5pm but still don't know where the accident was. I doubt Stretton or Warburton would have had any impact? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Quote Getting back to the question, can't see two toll bridges in Widnes improving matters - can you ? Might make it a bit easier when somebody threatens to jump off one they can make the other two way so less traffic hold ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
