A brand new road opens in Burscough very soon.
Construction work on Chancel Way, the new route linking the thriving Burscough industrial estate with the A59, has been progressing over the last 18 months.
The final touches are now being made by developer Dave Crompton and contractors DXi Civil Engineering Solutions - DXI Regeneration (dxiltd.co.uk) on the mile long road.
It'll see a vast reduction in traffic using the busy Booths roundabout.
Commented Dave: "We’ve removed 60,000 tons of spoil to create a large attenuation pond to serve the Anwyl site to manage the drainage.
Tongue in cheek, he added: "I’m planning on opening the road soon, do you want an invite?
"Could also get the parish council to cut the ribbon on the road they said would never get built."
