A busy Blackburn road has been shut again for emergency repairs.

A section of Revidge Road, which links Preston New Road and Pleckgate Road, has been closed for ‘drainage investigatory works’.

The closure is in place between the junction of Dukes Brow and Rose Court. It is expected the closure will remain in place until Monday, October 20.

Blackburn with Darwen Roads said: “The Outer Circle bus service is currently diverting via East Park Rd and Preston New Rd in both directions. School bus services are advised to operate via Lammack Rd, Yew Tree Drive and Preston New Road.”
