Unknown Road Road Closure — Blackpool

Motorists in the Lancaster area are advised to plan their journeys in advance as Unknown Road at Stone Row Head will be closed for roadworks from 15 September 2026 at 23:00 to 28 September 2026 at 23:00. The closure, which is being carried out by Lancashire County Council, is expected to cause medium-severity disruptions to traffic flow, particularly for those travelling to and from Blackpool. Drivers are urged to seek alternative routes to avoid delays, and to check traffic apps for the latest updates before embarking on their journeys.

The roadworks are part of the standard maintenance programme undertaken by Lancashire County Council to ensure the road network remains safe and well-maintained. While the closure may cause some inconvenience to drivers, it is essential to carry out these works to prevent more extensive and disruptive repairs being needed in the future. The council has planned the works to take place overnight, minimising the impact on daytime traffic, but drivers should still expect some delays, especially during peak hours.

To avoid the closure, drivers can use alternative routes, such as taking the A6 or A588, which may add a few minutes to their journey time but will help them avoid the roadworks altogether. It is also a good idea to check traffic apps, such as Google Maps or Waze, which can provide real-time updates on traffic conditions and suggest the best route to take. Additionally, drivers can tune into local radio stations for traffic updates and plan their journeys accordingly.

Lancashire County Council is working to complete the roadworks as quickly as possible, but the closure is expected to remain in place until 28 September 2026 at 23:00. In the meantime, drivers are advised to be patient and to allow extra time for their journeys. The council appreciates the cooperation of drivers and apologises for any inconvenience the closure may cause.
