One of Lancashire's busiest roads is set for a safety overhaul thanks to a new £1.8m government investment.

Announced by the Department for Transport, the funding will deliver a raft of safety improvements on the A583 Blackpool Road, which connects Preston and Blackpool.

The project will deliver enhanced active travel infrastructure, reduced speed limits, junction cameras and improved pedestrian facilities.
