Didn't take long
A quarter of a million pounds is to be spent on preventing a break-up in the surface of the Broughton Bypass, less than six years after it opened.
The cabinet meeting at which the work was approved was told that “early intervention” of the type proposed was “the most cost-effective” option and would prolong the life cycle of the £32m dual carriageway on what is now part of the busy A6. Members also heard that the treatment work would stave off the need for reactive maintenance work at a later date, should any problems become more obvious. At the moment, they are currently visible only to the trained eye.
Elsewhere in South Ribble, the A59, Liverpool Road, will get the same treatment between its junctions with Carr House Lane and the Station Road roundabout at Little Hoole, at a cost of £266,000. Previously approved surface dressing for Pippin Street, Dam Wood Lane, Heatons Bridge Road and Hall Road, which span the Lancashire West, Burscough and Rufford, and Ormskirk divisions, was also confirmed.
A share of the additional funding will also be spent on other highway infrastructure, beyond road surfaces – with an extra £1m being added to the £2.3m 2023/24 budget for the replacement of lamppost columns nearing the end of their life. A further £250,000 has also been earmarked to cover a shortfall in the budget to repair the retaining wall of Rivington Reservoir on the outskirts of Chorley.
The additional £5.1m allocation for Lancashire’s roads will take the county council’s scheduled highways maintenance budget for the year ahead to almost £34m. It will spend £1m of the extra cash on reducing borrowing requirements to fund its standard structural defects programme – which sees repairs carried out on all potholes once they exceed 40mm in depth – cutting loan costs by around £80,000 a year over the next two decades.
