'Thanks for bearing with us' - Here's why you will face delays on Fylde coast bypass for next 2 weeks
Everything you need to know...
Hedge and grass cutting work is underway along the A585 and A583 Kirkham Bypass, with the work expected to take around two weeks.
Lancashire County Councillor Joshua Roberts said the work began on Wednesday 16 September, following the end of nesting season. The work will see hedges and verges cut back, with some road signs along the route currently difficult to see.
Cllr Roberts said the work is needed ahead of the darker winter months to ensure drivers can see the signs clearly.
Where will the work take place?
The work covers the A585 from the Kingfisher roundabout in Wesham to the Blackpool Road roundabout, before continuing along the A583 Kirkham Bypass to the Freckleton Street lights. Work is scheduled to take place for around two weeks from Wednesday 16 September.
A highway permit is in place to manage traffic while the work is carried out. Drivers are warned there may be some short delays and are being asked to allow extra time for their journeys. Cllr Roberts thanked motorists for bearing with the disruption, adding that once the work is complete, drivers will be able to see the road signs clearly again.
