WORK will start on Monday to fix the road surface at Livesey Branch Road, Blackburn, from Preston Old Road.

The road will be closed during off-peak times for the work. It is expected to take two weeks to complete.

Coun Maureen Bateson, executive member for Regeneration, said: “The number of works that have been going on recently show we are fully committed to improving the roads in the borough.

“I fully sympathise with motorists if they experience any delays but this is vital work.

“The roads will stay open at peak times to try and reduce disruption but if you are travelling in these areas whilst the closures are in place, I would advise you to find an alternative route where possible.”
