A6062

Livesey Branch Road

The A6062 forms a suburban link between the A666 and A674 cutting a corner between the two and avoiding the excesses of Blackburn town centre.

The road starts at a roundabout on the A666 in the shadow of the Ewood Park stadium and heads west. The road is variable in terms of quality, with the first section from Ewood straddling terraced houses and climbing a steep hill away from the River Darwen. After two mini-roundabouts, it suddenly starts to climb again and widens out into early 20th-Century suburbia semi-detached houses and 1960s overspill estates on its way. In the mid 2010s the remaining rural gaps to the south started to be infilled meaning additional traffic calming has since been added to the road.

After a short while the road crosses the Leeds & Liverpool Canal having passed the remains of the former Cherry Tree to Chorley branch railway (an abutment remains next to the roundabout with Horden Rake) and turns sharply north before meeting the A674 at a mini roundabout. That's it for the A6062: it isn't the most exciting of roads in the world, even by Blackburn's standards.
