MOTORISTS are warned of a number of overnight road closures taking place over the next couple of months.

Drivers who use the A58 Stanley Bank Way/Liverpool Road and A580 East Lancs Road are advised that a number of lane and overnight road closures will be in place until the end of November.

The closures will allow gas, electricity, Virgin Media, and BT diversion works to be carried out as part of the A58/A580 Pewfall Junction Improvement scheme.

The work is subject to weather conditions, particularly sensitive due to traffic management installation – and road users are advised to take alternative routes where possible, and allow extra journey time.

Access to properties and businesses will be maintained at all times.

Pedestrian access will be maintained, however a suitably signed diversion of the existing pathway will be installed around the construction works if needed.

Details of next week’s closures are outlined in the table below, and traffic management updates will be provided on a weekly basis.
