A spokesperson for Lancashire Highways said that they were making changes to the traffic management at the Longridge Road/Roman Way junction as work progresses.

The new temporary traffic light layout is likely to have a greater impact on traffic and may lead to longer queues, particularly between the B6242 roundabout and the crematorium.

The spokesperson said: “The northern section of the junction works is now complete, so we’ll be moving the traffic management further south along Longridge Road, towards the crematorium.

“We will monitor traffic queues and vehicle flow and our Traffic Management contractors will continue to man the lights 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.

“We know delays can be frustrating and appreciate your patience while these essential works continue. If you can, please plan ahead and allow a little extra time when travelling through the area.”

Motorists should allow extra time for their journey.
