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.
A Temporary Traffic Regulation Order from Lancashire County Council, says the closure will cover "the full circumference of the main roundabout on B5321 Lancaster Road, Morecambe, at its junction with the Northwest Junction of Lancaster Road, Morecambe; and the junction with B5321 Lancaster Road, Morecambe; and the junction with A589 Broadway, Morecambe; and the junction with Hall Drive, Morecambe, and the junction with the Easterly junction with B5321 Lancaster Road and A589 Morecambe Road, Morecambe".
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.
