now having been delivered, Lancashire County Council has told the Local Democracy Reporting Service that the bridge project was still an ambition on the horizon – but warned that it may be a distant one.
“A new crossing is feasible, but the scale of the cost would require substantial funding from central government. We continue to monitor funding opportunities, as and when they become available.” While some sections of the road have been widened in preparation for that overarching project, there has been no news of when – or whether – that entire stretch will be turned into a dual carriageway.
