A section of the A595 is closed this weekend as work continues on a £23.3m improvement scheme.
Funded by the Department for Transport, the project is creating a 0.8 mile single carriageway between Chapels and Grizebeck village on the A595.
A full closure of the route between the Grizebeck Community Hall and Dove Ford is planned from 7am today, Saturday October 25 until 5pm tomorrow, Sunday October 26.
The road will also be closed next Saturday, November 1, and Sunday, November 2, from 7am on Saturday until 5pm on Sunday.
A key feature of the scheme is a new bridge that will offer residents and agricultural vehicles a permanent crossing over the A595.
The bridge deck has now been lifted into place and Story Contracting are putting the finishing touches on the structure ready for its anticipated opening next month.
The Grizebeck project has been supported by a £10.5 million funding contribution from Team Barrow – a partnership between the Government, Westmorland and Furness Council, and BAE Systems.
