Lasting between one day and five weeks, motorists are advised to avoid these areas** if they can or plan their journey to give themselves more time.
As there are 55 roadworks beginning between Monday, March 16 and Sunday, March 22 we have only listed those involving closures, stop/go boards and temporary traffic lights.
So take a look at the roadworks you will most want to be aware of this week, including how long the work is scheduled to last and why:
*We did also look at the roadworks bulletin for Blackpool but as of 4pm Thursday, it did not show any across the town. You can see the roadworks starting in Preston too here.
**For clarification purposes: the road scene captured is as close to where the roadworks are situatated as we can tell from the council’s notice.
