Due to an injury to HRH Princess Alexandra, the Bay Gateway (the Heysham to M6 Link Road) will now be opened by the Lord-Lieutenant of Lancashire, Lord Shuttleworth KG KCVO. The Lord Lieutenant acts as The Queen's personal representative in the county.
On the afternoon of Thursday 2 March 2017, Lord Shuttleworth will officially open the Bay Gateway at an event at Lancashire and Morecambe College.
As part of the event, Lord Shuttleworth will unveil a commemorative plaque at the beginning of the road, near Junction 34 of the M6, following which he will join guests for light refreshments at the College.
