A major Workington road will be closed from Friday night for the weekend.
Ramsay Brow will be closed from 8pm tomorrow, Friday October 3 until 6am on Monday October 6.
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 fourth successive weekend closure of the road.
It was hoped that last weekend would be the last full weekend closure, but Cumberland Council said it would be closed this weekend for the diversion of gas services.
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.
