A Lake District road closed by a landslip is due to reopen today.
The stretch of the A592 at High Kingate, halfway between Troutbeck and the Kirkstone Inn and just before the start of Kirkstone Pass, was closed after the incident in November.
The landslip was caused by heavy rainfall and partly undermined the carriageway.
Westmorland and Furness Council said work to repair the road had been completed and the road was due to open today, Friday July 17.
Following the incident, measures were taken to stabilise the ground and divert water away from the site to prevent further collapse, and diversion routes and signage were put in place.
The authority brought in ground investigation teams and work started before Christmas to undertake surveys on the carriageway and steep banking below to determine the best way to repair the landslip.
Options, including carriageway realignment and building a tiered concrete retaining wall, were considered.
The authority said the agreed work was designed to protect the landscape and improve the stability of the steep slope, protecting the highway and reducing the risk of future damage.
The repair programme involved infilling the landslip area and rebuilding and strengthening the banking using steel reinforcement bars, known as soil nails, installed into the slope.
A flexible steel mesh was applied to help stabilise the surface, followed by topsoil, seeding and erosion-control matting to encourage vegetation growth that would eventually cover the mesh and soil nails.
A new retaining wall faced with natural slate was built to replace the old highway verge and upper embankment, and the road surface and drainage were renewed.
While the road was closed, the council’s highways teams carried out other maintenance and defect work on the stretch, including drainage repairs, inspection and stabilisation work to the rock face at Raven Crag, infilling scour voids, repairing potholes and removing invasive Himalayan balsam and some trees affected by ash dieback.
