Pleckgate BSF Highway Works, Blackburn

The works comprised the construction of a new access road to serve a new school development, construction of bus lay-bys on either side of Pleckgate Road and an uncontrolled pedestrian crossing facility comprising a central refuge area together with the resurfacing of the existing carriageway and footpaths, associated street lighting, road markings and drainage works.

As the works are located on a busy highway on the perimeter of Blackburn Town Centre extensive temporary traffic management was required including a full temporary traffic light control outside of peak hours.
