Overnight road closures have been announced for Carlisle’s Devonshire Street as work continues on its £2.25m transformation.
Work to install Gobo lighting – which projects sophisticated shapes, patterns, or images – new cellar lights and under-bench lighting will start on Sunday, January 19.
The work will take place over a week and the road will be closed to traffic between 8pm and 5am each day.
It will reopen by 5am each day, Cumberland Council said. A full diversion route will be in place, clearly marked with signs.
Devonshire Street will remain open for pedestrians.
Funded with £2.04m from the Government’s Future High Street Fund, and £250,000 from United Utilities Green Recovery Funding, the project has so far included:
- Widened pavements on both sides of the street.
- New seating, trees, and plants.
- Cycle racks.
- A single-lane carriageway.
- Two loading bays.
