A road closed last year following a landslip has reopened.
Heavy rain undermined the C5101, near Dent Head Viaduct, causing severe damage and leaving the road at risk of collapse in November 2024.
The road had a 1.9m drop to the River Dee and remained closed.
Work started in October to repair the road, which involved realigning the existing carriageway by moving the road away from the crest of the landslip.
Around 12,000 tonnes of material was moved off site. The slope was reprofiled above the road, electricity services were moved, retaining walls constructed, new drainage installed and a new carriageway constructed and surfaced.
The road reopened yesterday, Friday March 20.
A Westmorland & Furness Council spokesman said: “We understand and appreciate that the closure and necessary diversions caused hardship for many members of the local community and we would like to thank them for their patience while this repair work was carried out.’’
