Traffic going northbound will continue to use the original Common Edge Road, but use the old southbound lane. This allows a new junction to be built connecting Common Edge Road to the new road, which will be called Vickers Way.

A spokesperson for Blackpool Council said: “The service road to access people’s houses and Lytham St Annes Garden Centre will be one-way, with entrance from the north and exit onto the new lane at the south.”

They also advised to approach the junction slowly as the road layout has changed.
