The Holden Fold / Knowle Lane / Moor Lane Junction Improvements work will cost around £1.3million
Blackburn council has awarded the contract for a £1.3million highway upgrade at a long-standing traffic bottleneck linked to a major new housing estate in Darwen.
It will also improve the road layout along Chapels and Goose House Lane and incorporate improvements to drainage, street lighting and road markings, a new footway along Moor Lane. The work is scheduled to take six months. A report from the borough’s operations director Martin Eden said: “The project will deliver the construction of the proposed roundabout arrangement at the junction of Moor Lane, Holden Fold and Knowle Lane together with associated works on Chapels and Goose House Lane. This includes the construction of two car parks for use by the local residents on Knowle Lane.
