A ROAD which has undergone works to fix a water leak is set to reopen this weekend after four weeks.

Scafell Road in Moss Bank will reopen on Saturday (April 1).

United Utilities have been on site since Monday, March 6 to fix a water leak under the A580 - East Lancashire Road bridge.

However, work on site had to be extended as a result of an unforeseen additional emergency burst water main on nearby Newby Place which caused severe flooding to the area.

Works had initially expected to be completed by March 27.
