Resurfacing works are taking place on a major roundabout taking traffic in and out of Morecambe.
The Shrimp Roundabout was closed last night (October 8) and will be closed every day until October 18 from 8pm to 5am, or until work is completed.
Signs have been up near the roundabout and the surrounding area to advise motorists of the impending closure for several weeks.

It will also cover "Westgate, Morecambe from outside property no.8 on Westgate Morecambe to its junction with the main roundabout on B5321 Lancaster Road, Morecambe".
Works are weather dependent and may be carried out on any of the dates specified.
