Lancashire County Council has announced roadworks which begin on Monday 10 July and last until Saturday 7 October.

The A582 remains open during the roadworks but you will not be able to turn right into Pope Lane from either direction.

Vehicles in Pope Lane will only be able to turn left onto the A582, from both directions, during the roadworks.

These roadworks come after delays to the A582 dual carriageway project when the citing of a pylon halted the work.
