We’ve rounded up all the key roadworks scheduled across Blackpool and Fylde over the coming days, highlighting the areas most likely to affect journeys.
The works are largely made up of temporary traffic lights and carriageway restrictions linked to utility upgrades and highway maintenance by Cadent and Lancashire County Council.
Motorists are being urged to plan ahead where possible, avoid affected routes if they can, or allow extra time when travelling through these areas.
As there are a number of schemes beginning between Friday 1 May and Sunday 10 May, we’ve focused on those involving closures, stop/go boards, and temporary traffic management, so you know exactly where delays may occur and how long each set of works is expected to last.
