Motorist in Burnley are being warned of overnight road closures through the centre which start next week.

The works are for the final phase of Burnley Council’s ‘Town 2 Turf’ scheme which is creating better pedestrian links, and improved public areas, between the town centre and Burnley Football Club’s Turf Moor stadium.

Centenary Way and Church Street are due to be closed to vehicles each night from 10pm to 5am from Monday June 3 to Sunday June 22, with Yorkshire Street between Church Street and Belvedere Road also due to be closed from the earlier time of 8.30pm.

While traffic will still be able to get through on Centenary Way and Church Street until 10pm people are warned to expect some delays from 8.30pm each evening due to lane closures as work gets underway.

Access will be available at all times for residents, pedestrians and cyclists.

Electronic message boards have been placed in the area recently to alert people to the forthcoming work.
