Noticed 4 way traffic control lights being set up near the roundabout connecting Eastern Ave/Casterton Ave/Briercliffe Road this afternoon.

They weren't operational when I went past about 2.30 so not sure when they'll actually come into play but sure it will be fun when they do unless they're only working overnight

[Slowwalker]

Will cause problems tonight

[Bosscat]

Nothing showing on the lead up to Junc 13 and at Junc 12

*M65 OVERNIGHT CLOSURE*
WHEN: 10pm till 5am From TONIGHT until 14th March

WHERE: Junctions 10 to 14

Allow extra time if you are travelling

This is to allow Lancashire County Council to repair the potholes and carriageway

[Bosscat]

M65 not closed tonight ... went through Reedley and over the M65 to Fence traffic flowin on M65 as we crossed over it.

[GetIntoEm]

Didn't look closed when we came home either, certainly nothing blocking the entrance from junction 10

[gawthorpe_view]

As I was driving eastbound after the match, the only vehicles on the westbound carriageway were 2 highway maintenance vehicles.
So it looks like they shut that side first starting at the Colne end.

Frigging nightmare getting away from Turf tonight

Obviously people had heard the M65 was going to be shut so we’re using Colne Rd or Queen Vic Rd to head to Nelson/Colne so would be frustrating if the M65 wasn’t actually shut

[karatekid]

Maybe the council showed some common sense for once and kept it open for the football traffic to disperse.

It’s not common sense if they think about it whilst everyone is at the football and don’t announce it

[Murger]

I came back through brierfield and joined colne at north valley. There were cars coming off the motorway. Really annoying.

[dsr]

I'm sure they filled in some potholes Westbound last night. I haven't driven Eastbound yet.

[Vintage Claret]

Just a heads up, those 4 way lights I mentioned earlier are now in operation and its causing bloody traffic chaos!

All the roads around that area are gridlocked not helped by temp traffic lights on Colne Road just past the Prairie near The Oaks hotel.

Had to pick Mrs VC up from BGH at 4 this afternoon then grandson from Wavelengths in Nelson, took me 1 hour 15 mins from Briercliffe!

Do you know what the roadworks are for? There's no mentioned on the LCC site, or indeed the utilities sites either.

Cheers. Hopefully, they'll have finished in a day or so.

They’ve set the lights up now they will plan the days butty run, make a brew and sit back and watch the chaos. That’s between the hours of 9.30am -3pm when they are actually on site.

[Loyalclaret]

I went down Eastern Avenue at 5:45pm, thinking it was shift change at BooHoo making it worse. Came back at 7:15pm and it wasnt much better. Guess it'll be terrible this morning, if still in place

Gas works apparently for 8 weeks

I live on Millbank received a letter off cadent says 8 weeks work mite be gone Saturday but they’ll be back for a further 8 weeks towards the end of march ..

[giveusaB]

Looks like the work at the summit/Manchester road have finished.Traffic flowing normally now

[Vintage Claret]

8 weeks? Yikes!

Walked past the roundabout about 45 mins ago- traffic fairly busy and obviously will get worse once the school runs start and folk finish work.

Not much sign of activity just one works van but they have dug a big trench in the pavement on Briercliffe Rd on the corner where the post office used to be.

The temporary lights in Brierfield, next to the demolished petrol station, on the A682 mainline route are causing issues

I'm always surprised there isn't more anger at the amount of roadworks with nobody working on them appearing.

I guess it gives the likes of Farage and Co more time to blame the traffic congestion on immigrants and over population though.

Looks like Queen Victoria road near the fire station is closed next week.
Brierfield at a standstill because of road works outside Connellys chippy.
Road works near the crematorium in Burnley causing big delays.

They were advertising Casterton Ave all the way down to Belvedere Rd they were doing "major gas works" April 28th till 6th of May. So looking at alternatives travelling in for the Millwall match

[Claretnick]

Temporary lights on the hill in Padiham causing chaos this afternoon. Traffic was queuing from the roadworks on the hill all the way too the Spar shop on Middlesex Avenue

[Dazzler]

Looks like Queen Victoria road near the fire station is closed next week.

Opened up, probably till the morning when they'll start laying the black stuff.

[Falcon]

Brunshaw Avenue and Rimington Avenue complete closure 16th May to 9th June
