East Lancashire

Priority roads in East Lancs have been gritted and we'll continue working through the night.

Temperatures are expected to fall below freezing tonight and there will be further snow showers overnight.  Drifting snow is also a risk overnight in areas exposed to the easterly wind.

See our online gritting map for details of our priority routes.

Priority routes only cover a third of the highway network and ice patches can develop on treated surfaces caused by water run-off from fields or other sources. Ice is most likely on untreated surfaces.
