Buses going back out from the Bus Station will not be affected.

The £80,000 scheme to improve the roundabout’s crossings, mainly for the benefit of cyclists, was signed off in June.

County Councillor John Fillis, cabinet member for highways and transport, said: “As a key link between the University of Central Lancashire and the city centre the Adelphi roundabout is a very busy junction with a history of injuries amongst cyclists and pedestrians.”

The county council has advised the roadworks should be completed by Friday 15 November.
