MOTORISTS would do well to avoid the East Lancashire Road in the Boothstown area this weekend and next.
Resurfacing work on both carriageways at the Mosley Common Road junction will mean the A580 will be closed. It isn't much fun queuing at a set of temporary traffic lights installed just before a permanent set of signals and a series of traffic-calming measures. Manchester Road at Marsland Green, Leigh Road at Howe Bridge, Astley Street in Tyldesley are three examples of repair work projects which haven't done much for the nerves.
