Commuters in Kirkby, Merseyside, are being told to take extra care tonight, February 25, 2026, as the Met Office warns that patchy fog will reduce visibility on the roads. The warning lasts through the evening and into the early hours of February 26, 2026.
Drivers using major roads like the M57, M58, and the A580 East Lancs Road should expect slower travel due to the weather. According to KirkbyTown.net, these routes are often busy with heavy goods vehicles heading to the Kirkby Industrial Park. National Highways recommends that people use dipped headlights instead of full beams to stay safe and avoid blinding other road users.
Local bus services, including the 14, 19, and 20 routes, may also see delays as drivers navigate the thick patches of fog. Information from Bustimes.org suggests these busy routes are likely to be affected during peak travel times.
Those using the Merseytravel network should also check for updates, as the fog could cause minor delays for trains serving Kirkby and Headbolt Lane stations. This may also affect people travelling to the Kirkby Town Centre. Pedestrians and cyclists are encouraged to allow more time for their journeys and stay visible while near busy traffic.
