PARTS of Clitheroe are set for two- and-a-half weeks of heavy overnight traffic as a section of the A59 bypass is closed for essential resurfacing,work. : Lancashire County Council is alerting motorists to the overnight closure of part"


of the A59 from today, July 5th, through to Sunday July 22nd. It affects the A59 between its rounda­


bout junction with Whalley Road (A671) and its junction with Pimlico Link Road (also A671). That section will be closed nightly from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., but fully reo­ pen during the day to keep disruption to a minimum. Access to Pendleton and the Well- springs restaurant on the slope of Pendle


Hill will be kept open throughout, with a 30 mph speed restriction in force for safety. A signed diversion will take overnight
