New traffic lights are being installed as well as widening the roundabout to create extra lanes.

Phil Wilson, highways project manager overseeing the scheme, said: “This is a very busy roundabout, particularly during rush-hour. The improvements will reduce journey times and make it much safer for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists.

“By providing better footways and cycleways, the improvements will also encourage more environmentally-friendly ways of getting around the area.

“As with all improvement work of this nature, some disruption is unavoidable, but we will do our best to keep this to a minimum.”

The Lostock Lane roundabout works begins on Monday 5 January. No completion date has been given for the roadworks.

The work is being funded as part of the City Deal, a £434 million fund to improve the road network in Preston and South Ribble.

Major works on the A582 to turn it into a dual carriageway are currently being consulted on by the county council.
