Dozens of roadworks are set to start in Blackburn with Darwen from today (March 11) and we have all of the details to ensure motorists don’t get caught out.

The planned roadworks involves traffic management.

Included in the list are planned roadworks only for which permit applications to carry out works have been received. They do not include any deemed urgent or emergency works.

Brandy House Brow, Roman Road and Whalley New Road are just some of the roads  set to be impacted.

A spokesperson for Blackburn with Darwen Council said: “Please bear in mind that these are planned roadworks only for which permit applications to carry out works have been received, and do not include any deemed urgent or emergency works.

“Due to lead-in periods for minor works, there may be additional works not on this list which start next week. The lead-in period for minor works (up to three days duration) is three working days, so for example, a Utility Company wanting to start work on Thursday next week would apply on Monday.

“The One Network map is updated in real-time to show both planned and emergency works with several layers to supplement it, such as live traffic data. It’s an extremely useful tool to check daily as part of your journey planning to help avoid potential delays.”
