Emergency Road Closure – Roman Road, Blackburn

Published Tuesday 1 August 2023 at 9:04

There is a road closure in place on Roman Road, Blackburn, between Stopes Brow and Pickering Fold, due to a significant water mains burst.

United Utilities contractors are on site andto begin the repairs.

We aren’t aware as yet of the impact on water supplies.

However, given the history of bursts at this location, some impact on water supplies (low pressure or complete loss of supply) is to be expected.

The road will likely remain closed until at least Monday (7 August) due to the severity of damage caused to the road surface.

Access from Issa Way and Roman Road onto Stopes Brow (and vice versa) is unaffected.
