A junction off a busy Blackburn road has been shut to traffic again.

Oakenhurst Road at the junction with Montague Street is closed to all traffic. Drivers are being asked to use Stonyhurst Road and then King Street.

Access to the cordoned-off section is for residents only and this is from Oakenhurst Road itself and not from Montague Street.

The closure is due to further gas pipe repairs which are due to be completed over the next 10 days according to the One.Network site.

Diversions are in place on Oakenhurst Road

A section of the road was closed for the whole of August as work took place on Montague Street. 

In April, the junction was closed as workers dug up the road to repair a gas leak.
