If any readers wondered why the threatened major roadworks on the busy A59 at Aughton didn't go ahead as planned, here's why....
This from the Cadent press office this afternoon: 'Our engineers did some exploratory work last week before the main excavations begin.
'They opted against closing that lane of the A59 because it wasn’t absolutely necessary for that nature of work.
'It’s most likely now that the lane closure will come into effect this week.'
Busy QLocal reporter Roger Blaxall will be taking photos of the work as and when it starts.
