OK. The bridge has been 50 for a long time. This seems to be extending it to the slip roads. I'll have a look at the exact MP.

Thanks for that.

As I suspected, this only adds the slips roads as 50 mph. The main carriageway over the Bidston Moss viaduct has been 50 for a long time now - the viaduct has had a lot of problems and has been strengthened, but it's still not 100%

Not that anybody obeys the 50 anyway.......
