Further work and the same road closure arrangements are set to take place over the weekend Saturday, August 31st to Monday, September 2nd.

The work is being carried out as part of the regeneration of the town centre after Burnley Council was allocated almost half-a-million-pounds to knock down the footbridge and the open market.
