M55 pedestrian subway to close '˜for the foreseeable future'
The pedestrian subway under the M55 at the Broughton roundabout is to close temporarily from today as part of the construction work for the Broughton Bypass.
The subway, which runs from D’Urton Lane to Eastway, will be shut “for the foreseeable future” say Lancashire County Council. A diversion is signposted.
From Monday (7 November) pedestrians will instead need to use the footpath on the northbound side of the A6.
