Cumberland Council is informing residents and businesses that there will be important improvement works on the A6071 Gretna to Longtown.
These works are scheduled to commence on Monday 21 August 2023 for four nights, under night-time road closures from 7pm to 6am (the following morning).
To enable the council to complete works safely, during the works, the road located between the A6071 Longtown to Gretna will be closed each night, with a signed diversion route in place. People are advised to plan their journeys accordingly and follow the designated diversion route.
A Traffic Marshal will be on site at the points of closure during the night and will escort residents safely through the works. Depending on the site activities residents may have to wait a short time until it is safe to be escorted through the works site.
Access will be maintained for emergency services & MOD during the works.
Cumberland Council wishes to thank the community for their continued support and patience while improvements are made to the road network and apologises for any inconvenience.
