The scheme will deliver Active Travel and capacity improvements at Junction 4 of the M57 motorway, Moorgate Road and the East Lancashire Road (A580).
Take a look at the proposals here.
The proposed works will include:
- Improvements at the junction of Moorgate Road and East Lancashire Road (A580), with new separate cycle crossings constructed to improve the safety of cyclists whilst making their journey through the junction quicker and more efficient.
- A reduction in the speed limit of the East Lancashire Road from 50mph to 40mph between Alchemy Way and the boundary with Liverpool.
- Improvements for cyclists and pedestrians at Ribblers Lane, making it safer and easier to join up to existing cycle routes.
- Carriageway widening to create extra lanes and increase capacity and reduce congestion at both junctions.
- The full signalisation of Junction 4 of the M57 and upgrading the existing signals at Moorgate Road Junction East Lancashire Road (A580).
All works will involve resurfacing, drainage and street lighting improvements where appropriate.
Two phases of works
The proposed improvements would be delivered in two phases. Phase one, relating to Moorgate Road and the East Lancashire Road, would be scheduled to commence in early 2025. Phase two, relating to Junction 4 of the M57, would commence in the summer of 2026.
