A Carlisle road will be closed next month as the regeneration of the city continues.
From February 9, English Street will be closed overnight for a week for resurfacing.
The road will be closed from 7pm to 6am.
It is part of the major regeneration of the city – currently kerbs are being replaced and paving installed on English Street.
The Carlisle Station Gateway Project will continue with the installation of new drainage systems in front of the station, followed by the creation of rain gardens to manage surface water and enhance biodiversity.
Foundations will be laid for Lawson’s Monument, which will be relocated to Court Square outside Carlisle Railway Station, before final paving works are carried out.
The work is expected to take around four months. Preparatory work already completed includes the infill of the former public toilets, diversion of the water main, and provision of temporary road access.
The small car park in front of the railway station will be closed during the work.
People are are advised to use the car park to the left of the station, which offers a 20-minute free parking for drop-offs.
Pedestrians should follow signed routes.
Improvements have also started at The Crescent, including new kerbs, paving, and modern street furniture.
Work is scheduled to be complete in the spring.
Bus stops on The Crescent are temporarily out of use, with services stopping on Lowther Street, Botchergate and Warwick Road instead.
The work is part of a wider regeneration programme, with over £100 million invested in Carlisle to reshape the heart of the city.
