Preston's Eastway roadworks will take longer - due to cold weather
The closure was planned as part of the work to create a new roundabout on Eastway, at the junction with Longfield.
It will now take place next week, over the weekend of 18 and 19 February.

A signed diversion will be in place, taking drivers along Sharoe Green Lane and Sherwood Way.
A spokesman for Lancashire County Council said: “The cold weather means that we can’t carry out the surfacing work on the roundabout, as we’d planned for this weekend.
“For this reason we’re changing it to next week, when temperatures should be higher and the work can be done.

The change of weekend will put the overall schedule for the roundabout work back by a week.
Temporary traffic lights are already in operation in this area, as part of the roundabout work.
