THERE will be upcoming road closures in Halton village, which is on the Kirkby Lonsdale road near the outskirts of Lancaster.
The work is planned to start on Tuesday 6 February, and with good weather is expected to be finished by Friday of the same week. However, road closures could remain in place until Tuesday 20 February if bad weather prevents work from progressing, according to Lancashire County Council.
Halton Road and Church Brow will be closed during daytime working hours from near the junction with the Bay Gateway to the roundabout in the centre of the village.
This will allow a new 20mph zone and speed cushions designed to slow traffic to be safely installed. The council said that measures are being put in place following 10 collisions causing injuries over five years, two of which were fatal.
A diversion will be in place via Halton Road, Kellet Lane, and Foundry Lane while work is ongoing, and the closures will be removed outside working hours.
