A BLACKBURN road has been closed due to a fallen tree.
Drivers are currently being asked to avoid Billinge End Road which remains blocked and to take care on the roads elsewhere in the borough due to heavy rainfall and blustery winds.
Blackburn with Darwen Council say that they are working to remove the blockage.
A spokesperson said: "We are working on getting this removed, however due to its size this may take a number of hours.
"Blackburn with Darwen is still experiencing heavy rainfall and blustery winds, which poses a risk of highway flooding and fallen trees.
"Please avoid travel where possible, and take care on the roads."
