Video shows progress of new Enterprise Zone road

Early works to build a new road at Blackpool Airport Enterprise Zone Eastern Gateway are progressing well.

New drone footage shows the shape of the new road that connects Common Edge Road and the business park at Amy Johnson Way.

Recent work includes stripping the land, installing new drainage and the demolition of a house at the corner of School Road and Common Edge.

George Cox & Sons is the main contractor for the works.

The work continues to take place while maintaining two-way traffic through the site. Work over the next month will involve creating an additional traffic lane on Common Edge Road so that traffic flow can be maintained while work continue to divert utilities.

The road will allow the construction of new business units, bringing additional quality jobs to the Fylde coast.

Throughout the works, a liaison officer will be available to answer questions and can be contacted via phone or WhatsApp.

To keep up to date with the construction progress, you can sign up to the WhatsApp channel or  regular newsletter.

If you have any questions about the work, George Cox & Sons holds weekly drop in sessions for people to see the plans and ask questions every fortnight on a Tuesday morning. These will be advertised via the WhatsApp channel and newsletter. You can also contact the contractor directly on WhatsApp or voicemail on 07561 104 802.
