THE bridge and circular walkway from the Mall to the old market site will be taken down this weekend as work continues on the demolition of the old six-day market.

Ainsworth Street will be closed from 7pm on Saturday to 5am on Monday.

Disruption to bus services will be minimal as bus stops on the southbound side of Ainsworth Street have already been closed.

Services using the northbound side will pick up and drop off at the Boulevard.

The demolition of the old market will enable the construction of the interim bus station adjacent to Brown Street, Blackburn’s new bus station and the future regeneration of the site.
