£7.5m Vickers Way to ease congestion and unlock Enterprise Zone growth

Town hall scheme will open land near airport and create new jobs

- by Gazette Reporter

Work to complete a new £18.5m road on the edge of Blackpool is moving forward as further planning developments have taken place.

The ambitious highway development, which has been continuing this year, involves the creation of a new spine road linking Common Edge Road with Amy Johnson Way to provide two-way access to the business park.

The project has been primarily funded by Blackpool Council, with an additional £7.5m from Blackpool's £40m Town Deal, which must be spent by March 2026.
