Flood hit under- pass re-opens
Lancashire Evening Post
|April 17, 2025
A well-used underpass in Preston which was closed due to persistent flooding has now reopened.
-
The tunnel on Darkinson Lane in Lea was constructed as part of the £206m link road scheme, which has seen a dual carriageway created connecting Riversway to a new junction 2 on the M55.
However, it had been shut since late October when heavy rain flooded the area once again and Lancashire County Council had previously confirmed drainage issues, as well as a faulty pump, meant there was no quick fix to the issues afflicting the tunnel.
