A section of a major road will be closed for 21 days from Monday for resurfacing.
Work is set to begin on sections of the A6 at Shap from Monday.
The work in Shap will be undertaken in two phases and will require the 21-day temporary road closure.
Phase one, on the stretch of the A6 from Green House to Ullsmoor, will start on Monday, June 23, with phase two following on the stretch between Bampton junction and the north end of the 40mph signs.
The road closure period will cover both phases, but the closures will only affect the phase being worked on at any time – ie access to the phase two stretch will be possible while phase one work is being completed, and vice versa.
The work includes the removal of the existing road surface and replacing with a new surface course and binder courses as required and will also include repairs to the highway drainage system.
Letters have already been sent to residents in Shap, the parish council and schools advising about the work and residents living in properties affected by the closure have been advised to liaise with contractors over vehicle access arrangements.
Access for emergency vehicles and pedestrian access to properties will be maintained throughout the work.
Bus companies, including school transport providers, and waste and recycling collection services have been informed so they can make alternative arrangements.
Signed diversions will be in place during the temporary road closures via the M6 with alternative diversions for non-motorway vehicles.
