Work is set to begin to create a new section of Carlisle’s’ cycling network.
Route 38: the Cargo Link will stretch from Cargo to Carlisle’s northern bypass.
Cumberland Council said it was a vital part of the Carlisle Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan, designed to make walking, cycling, and wheeling a more attractive choice for everyday journeys.
Work is due to start on Monday, June 16 and is expected to last for around 16 weeks, weather dependent.
Work will take place Monday to Friday between 8am and 4pm and will be carried out in 200 metre phases to reduce disruption.
The road will remain open throughout, with temporary traffic lights in place to manage the flow of vehicles.
Access for emergency services, public transport, and waste collection vehicles will be maintained throughout the work.
Along with contributions from the council, Kingmoor Parish Council and Cycling Carlisle, this project has been funded through the Government’s Active Travel Fund 4 (ATF4), as part of a wider £1,427,359 investment in active travel across Cumberland.
