Road Closure: INGLEBOROUGH DRIVE — Manchester

Motorists in the Barnoldswick area are being advised of major roadworks scheduled to take place on Ingleborough Drive, starting from 11 August 2026 at 23:00 and lasting until 31 August 2026 at 23:00. The roadworks, which are being carried out by Lancashire County Council, are expected to cause medium-severity disruptions to traffic in the area. Although Manchester is the nearest major city, the roadworks are not expected to have a significant impact on the city's traffic, but drivers travelling through Barnoldswick should be aware of the potential delays.

The major roadworks on Ingleborough Drive are part of Lancashire County Council's ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the local road network. The council has planned the works to minimise disruptions, but drivers should still expect some delays, especially during peak hours. To avoid the congestion, motorists are advised to use alternative routes, such as the nearby A59 or A6068, which may add a few minutes to their journey but will help them avoid the roadworks altogether.

Drivers can stay up-to-date with the latest traffic information by checking traffic apps, such as Waze or Google Maps, which provide real-time updates on road conditions and suggest alternative routes to avoid congested areas. Additionally, Lancashire County Council's website will have information on the roadworks, including any updates on the schedule or traffic management measures. By planning their journey in advance and allowing extra time, drivers can minimise the impact of the roadworks on their daily commute.

Lancashire County Council is responsible for maintaining over 4,500 miles of roads in the county, and the roadworks on Ingleborough Drive are just one example of the council's efforts to keep the road network safe and well-maintained. The council works closely with local communities and stakeholders to ensure that any disruptions caused by roadworks are minimised, and that the works are completed as quickly and efficiently as possible.

While the roadworks on Ingleborough Drive may cause some inconvenience for drivers, they are an essential part of maintaining the local road network. By being aware of the roadworks and planning their journey in advance, motorists can help to reduce congestion and minimise delays.
