Resurfacing planned for Bloomfield Road
As part of our ongoing commitment to improving the local road network, we are carrying out works on sections of Bloomfield Road.
The work will include removing the old road surface, making necessary repairs, resurfacing and new road markings. These improvements will provide a smoother, safer driving surface and help prevent further deterioration of the road.
Resurfacing works on Bloomfield Road are being completed in two phases:
- Phase 1: between Park Road and Ansdell Road - now complete
- Phase 2: between Ansdell Road and Central Drive
Working hours will be 8am to 5.30pm, Monday to Friday, although some weekend working may be required depending on weather conditions.
Access for residents and pedestrians will be maintained wherever possible.
Resurfacing works
As part of our continued investment in Blackpool’s road network, we’re starting the next phase of resurfacing works across the town.
These improvements are helping to deliver smoother, safer and more reliable journeys for residents, businesses and visitors, while extending the life of our roads for years to come.
Working hours will be between 8am and 5.30pm Monday to Friday but weekend working may be required depending on the weather conditions. The roads will be closed throughout working hours.
Upcoming programme of works:
- Shetland Road – from 10 August
- Pleasant Street – from 7 September
Access will be maintained for residents and pedestrians where possible.
The works will be carried out by Bethell, Miles Macadam, Multipave and A&T Resurfacing, on behalf of Blackpool Council.
