Blackburn with Darwen Council has released a list of roadworks set to begin today (Monday, April 22).

Most of the work involves traffic management including road closures and two-way or multi-way signals.

A spokesperson for the council’s roads department said: “Please bear in mind that these are planned roadworks only for which permit applications to carry out works that 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.”
