Lancashire County Council is asking drivers to leave more time for their journeys due to work starting soon on the A59 between Ormskirk and Burscough.

Contractors for housing developer Taylor Wimpey will begin work on improvements to roads and sewers on High Lane for 12 weeks from Tuesday 30 May. The work has been agreed as part of planning permission for the new Highgrove Park housing development.

Two-way temporary lights will be in place throughout to allow for a range of improvements, including the creation of two pedestrian islands in the middle of the road to make it safer for people to cross, and work to upgrade the sewer beneath High Lane.
