Motorists say they are gridlocked on Caton Road in Lancaster due to roadworks.

Lancashire County Council who are responsible for highways said there are multi-way signals on Caton Road due to a gas mains replacement.

The roadworks are scheduled until March 13 so motorists can expect delays until then.
