A major Workington road will be closed from tonight for the weekend for the third time.
Ramsay Brow will be closed from 8pm today, Friday September 26 until 6am on Monday September 29.
The A66 at Ramsay Brow is being remodelled as part of the Workington Gateway project.
It is one of the projects part of the £33 million regeneration of Workington town centre led by Cumberland Council.
It is hoped the project will improve access to businesses and industrial parks for HGVs.
It is the third successive weekend closure of the road.
It should be the last full weekend closure of the road, but a contingency closure order is in place for next week – Friday October 3 to Monday October 6 – if it is needed.
Impact on public transport and services
- Bus services: During the Ramsay Brow roadworks, the X4/X5 services will be unable to serve stops on Ramsay Brow, Stainburn and Clifton during the closures. From Workington, the service will divert via the A596 towards Lillyhall, and continue along the A595 to rejoin the normal service at Bridgefoot roundabout. This diversion will apply in both directions.
- Waste collections: There will be no disruptions to scheduled waste and recycling collections during the work.
