The A583 is a primary road from Preston to Blackpool in England, via Kirkham. It was once the main route into Blackpool until the construction of the M55 motorway. ==Route== The A583 runs from the A59 Ring Way in Preston city centre to Blackpool, terminating near the town's North Pier. It is a primary route, although there are non-primary sections in the town centres at both ends of the route. The road heads out of the city centre as Fylde Road, becoming Watery Lane after passing under the Blackpool Branch Lines to meet the A5072. As Watery Lane, it becomes a dual carriageway and acts as a bypass for the Riversway Docklands and the Ashton-on-Ribble area. After becoming Riversway, it then merges with the A5085 Blackpool Road and continues west as Blackpool Road, shortly before the A584 branches off towards Lytham St Annes. The road passes around the villages of Clifton and Newton with Scales as Blackpool Road before reaching the market town of Kirkham. The road's original route passed through Kirkham until in 1936 when the Kirkham bypass was built taking the road around the south side of the town. After passing Kirkham, the road continues as Blackpool Road to meet the A585 and B5259 at a roundabout close to Kirkham Grammar School and Ribby Hall Holiday Village. It continues west towards Blackpool, becoming Preston New Road at a crossroads with the B5260. After 3 miles, it meets the B5410, and junction 4 of the M55 motorway shortly after, entering the District of Blackpool in doing so. As Preston New Road it travels around the edge of the Mereside estate and through Marton before reaching the large Oxford Square junction, where the A587, A5073 and B5390 all join it. The A583 then loses its primary status, heading north as Whitegate Drive to the Devonshire Square junction where it meets the B5124 and B5266. It then turns west and heads into the town centre as Church Street. After passing through part of the town centre it terminates at Talbot Square, where North Pier and the town's war memorial are located. At this terminus it joins the A584, the road which joined the A583 near Preston. Major junctions on the road are the A5085 Blackpool Road at Lea, the A584 at Clifton, the A585 west of Kirkham, the western terminus of the M55 motorway just outside Blackpool where the A5230 also terminates, the A5073/A587 in Marton, and the A584/A586 in Blackpool town centre. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A583 road」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
