A six-week road closure will be in place in a West Cumbrian village from Monday.
Work to improve the A5086 at Frizington will be carried out by DSD Construction Limited and will include road repairs, pavement improvements, drainage replacement, and refreshing road markings.
The work will be carried out in two phases. The first is from the beginning of the village to just before Yeathouse Road.
The second phase will extend from Yeathouse Road to beyond the mini roundabout. All work in the first phase will be completed before moving on to the second phase, Cumberland Council said.
From 7am to 7pm, the road will be closed to traffic, although pedestrian access will be available throughout the work. Residents access will be maintained when safe to do so.
Access for emergency vehicles, under blue lights, will be maintained, at all times.
This project is part of Cumberland Council’s extensive road improvement programme, which has already successfully completed work on several roads, including the A5086 from Scallow Farm to Rowrah, A595 Whicham Valley, A5086 from Crossgates to Kirkland, and the A595 Waberthwaite.
