Temporary traffic lights will be installed on a Lake District road as contractors carry out essential slope repair work.
Work is due to start on Monday, February 23 on phase two of the repairs on the the B5289 near Ashness Bridge, Keswick.
The work is needed are required to stabilise the road and improve long‑term safety.
The slope was originally damaged during Storm Desmond.
Phase two is expected to take around 10 days to complete.
Workers will be on site from 7.30am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, subject to weather and site conditions.
Cumberland Council said progress made during phase one of the scheme meant that overnight road closures planned as part of phase two were no longer needed.
It had also received feedback from residents and businesses that the closures would impact them.
The phase will now be managed under temporary traffic lights.
Contractor Metcalfes Plant Hire will use smaller machinery to work from both the shoreline and the road to rebuild the slope
Work will involve filling holes at the base of the slope using a combination of stone from the shoreline and imported material.
Cllr Denise Rollo, Executive Member for Sustainable, Resilient and Connected Places, said:
“Our priority is always to keep people safe and keep our communities moving.
“These repairs are essential to protecting this much‑loved route around Derwentwater, and I’m pleased that we’re now able to carry out phase two in a way that avoids the disruption a full road closure would have caused.
“Residents and businesses told us clearly that a closure would have had a real impact, and we listened.
“By working closely with our contractors and looking again at the programme, we’ve been able to find a solution that keeps the work on track while allowing traffic to continue using the B5289. We can’t take this approach on every scheme, but where we can adapt and minimise inconvenience, we absolutely will.
“I want to thank everyone for their patience and for sharing their feedback. It helps us shape a service that truly works for the communities we serve every day.”
