Cumberland Council is informing residents, visitors, and businesses that Blaze Bridge located in High Lorton will be undergoing repairs in July.
The Highways team is scheduled to start the refurbishment work on Monday 3 July. The project is expected to take between six to eight weeks to complete and the team will be working from 9am – 4pm Monday to Friday.
The refurbishment of the bridge includes:
• rock armour placement
• retaining wall and approach wall rebuild
• carriageway drainage improvements
• repointing of bridge elements
During this time, the road will be fully closed for all vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians with no access allowed. This closure is necessary to carry out these essential maintenance works, and to ensure the safety of all road users. There will be a signed diversion route in place.
For more information, please contact Cumberland Council’s Highways Hotline on 0300 373 3736.
Cumberland Council wishes to thank the community for their continued support and patience while improvements are made to the bridge and apologises for any inconvenience and disruption caused.
