Massive £6m investment to fund next phase of Blackpool Council's road resurfacing programme

Blackpool Council has announced the next phase of its road resurfacing programme.

The works will take place as part of a record £6 million investment in maintaining and improving the town’s highways network.

The authority says it has tripled its road maintenance budget this year, with the increased funding supporting a series of improvements aimed at delivering smoother, safer and more reliable journeys for residents, businesses and visitors.

Residential Roads Included in Latest Phase

The latest programme of resurfacing works will begin on Monday 29 June, with improvements scheduled for Norkeed Road, Alpic Drive, Wilvere Drive and Glenmere Crescent.

A second phase will commence on Monday 13 July, covering Caxton Avenue, Montpellier Avenue, Waller Avenue, Davenport Avenue and Mossom Road between Fleetwood Road and Norbreck Road.

Works will then move to Duncan Avenue from Monday 27 July.

Road Closures Planned During Works

To allow the resurfacing programme to be completed safely and efficiently, road closures will be in place during working hours while works are underway.

Construction is scheduled to take place between 8am and 5.30pm, Monday to Friday, although some weekend working may be required depending on weather conditions.

The affected roads will remain closed throughout working hours while resurfacing is carried out.

Improving Blackpool’s Road Network

The council says the latest scheme forms part of its continued investment in Blackpool’s road network, helping to extend the lifespan of roads while improving driving conditions across the town.

The resurfacing programme is designed to provide long-term benefits for road users by improving road quality and supporting safer and greener journeys throughout Blackpool.
