MOTORISTS are once more experiencing heavy traffic on the A590 this morning because of roadworks at Lindal and Ulverston.

Temporary traffic lights are in place both at Booths roundabout in Ulverston and at Lindal.

Motorists are reporting traffic is stretching back to Greenodd on the westbound carriageway and Lindal on the eastbound carriageway.

The lights in Ulverston are understood to be because of repairs being carried out underneath the pavement.

The roadworks at Lindal are being carried out to move the carriageway to prevent future flooding.

The traffic lights are due to be in place until the end of March.
