Cllr Gillian Campbell, deputy leader of Blackpool Council, said: “I am pleased to announce that these works have been completed ahead of schedule thanks to the hard work of those involved.

“The works were essential in order for us to prolong the life of major roads and bridges across the town.

“I would like to thank everyone for their patience, as a motorist myself living and working in Blackpool I know how frustrating it has been.”

Closures remain in place on Talbot Road and the Promenade for the tramway works. For more information visit www.blackpool.gov.uk/betterblackpool
