Two-way traffic signals had been put near Oxcliffe Road Bridge in Oxcliffe Road for repair work to be carried out to cables by Electricty North West.

The work had been scheduled to end by January 4, but the signals are still in place, leading to tailbacks for drivers, particularly during rush hour.

In addition, work is also continuing on part of Oxcliffe Road close to the junction with White Lund Road, where there are also two-way signals.

Two-way signals will be in place between January 9 and 13.
