A long stretch of a busy Preston road is to be shut for a few days during the course of a month.

Lancashire County Council says the road, which is used by a number of bus routes and thousands of motorists each day, needs major resurfacing work.

The road is to be closed from 7am to 5pm for a number of days between Saturday 10 June and Monday 10 July. It is not known which days these will be at this stage.

The county council states: “With surface dressing the process should take one to two days but the process is affected by weather and plant problems so a one month period is required.”

Fylde Road will be shut in both directions during this time.

Note: This post has been updated as we originally received a traffic order outlining a closure for one month, without the information regarding the surface dressing. This has now been amended.
