A signed diversion will be in place, taking drivers along Sharoe Green Lane and Sherwood Way.

A spokesman for the Preston and South Ribble City Deal said: “This work is taking place as part of our long term City Deal plans which will help people get around and bring new homes and jobs to the area.

“We apologise in advance for any inconvenience while this work is carried out. We’re working hard to keep the disruption to a minimum, but please allow more time if you’re travelling in this area.”
