THERE will be temporary traffic lights in place on the East Lancashire Road this Sunday (October 27).

Traffic signal upgrade works at the junction with Green Leach Lane will start this Sunday (October 27) as part of a Liverpool City Region Combined Authority scheme which aims to replace all halogen lamps inside traffic signals to LED.

During the works - which is expected to last a week - all traffic signal poles and heads will also be replaced with new ones.

To accommodate the scheme, the junction will operate under temporary traffic lights, with the right-turn into Green Leach Lane closed and a diversion route in place advising to continue to the Liverpool Road junction and turning around using the Vicarage Road roundabout.
