The three-mile stretch of A6, between Bilsborrow and Broughton, will partly close today (January 13) to allow gas company Cadent to carry out essential works.

The works will start this morning and are expected to continue for the next 8 weeks until March 9.

Lancashire County Council said delays are expected, with a lane closure and two-way temporary traffic lights in place for the duration.
