MOTORISTS are being warned of lane closures on the East Lancashire Road this week as improvement works continue at a junction.

Road users are being made aware that closures will be in place eastbound and westbound from today (October 21) to Sunday, October 27 as part of the Pewfall Junction Improvement Scheme.

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.

Meanwhile, there are a couple of road closures in place across the borough due to works by Scottish Power Energy Networks.

Walton Road in Dentons Green will be closed at its junction with Rainford Road from today (Monday) to Friday, October 25 as a link box is replaced.

Also Pilkington Street, Rainford will be closed outside house number 17 due to works.
