A US$4.6 million Highways Agency project to boost safety and reduce congestion around key junctions along the A585 south of Fleetwood in Lancashire, UK, is underway.
The road is to be widened and improved at two junctions, boosting capacity between Bourne Way and West Drive and providing an additional lane in each direction. Signals at the junction with Bourne Way will improve the safety and ease for drivers joining and leaving the A585. Work on the improvements started on Monday 15 September and is due to be completed before Christmas.
Alan Shepherd, the Highways Agency’s North West regional director said, “Increasing road capacity along the A585 and improving safety and reducing congestion around these busy junctions will help support the creation of new homes and jobs in this part of Lancashire. We are delighted the project is now underway.”
