Over £220,000 of resurfacing works carried out at St John’s in the Vale near Keswick have been completed.
Cumberland Council invested the money into the work on the B5322 between the A591 and A66 and works came to an end on Saturday 3 June.
Local partners DSD Construction resurfaced a total of 5,140 metres squared of carriageway and renewed 320 meters squared of footway at Station Road, whilst a team from Cumberland Highways completed patching and pothole repairs south of Wanthwaite Mill using a state of the art pothole pro machine.
The council said the machine has allowed them to repair the pothole defects economically and permanently.
Councillor Denise Rollo, Cumberland Council’s Executive Portfolio Holder for Sustainable, Resilient and Connected Places, said: “These works are essential to ensure that the safety of this well used stretch of road is maintained.
“Advances in technology and techniques such as the pothole pro machine has changed the way we operate giving a quicker repair to potholes or large reinstatement operations. We thank local residents and businesses for the patience while the works were completed.”
