Cumberland Council is informing residents and businesses of forthcoming carriageway improvement works on London Road, Carlisle.
The Highways teams will be implementing a carriageway inlay project to improve the quality and longevity of the A6 London Road, Carlisle. Ironwork will be replaced throughout the area, which will facilitate future maintenance. Additionally, a fresh set of road markings will be applied upon completion of the project.
These works are scheduled to commence on Wednesday 15 November 2023 for nine nights and will conclude on Monday 27 November 2023 (excluding weekends). The improvement works will be taking place between Highwood Crescent and Eastern Way, during the evening.
To enable the council to complete works safely, it will be necessary to install multi-way traffic lights with additional one-way systems to prevent traffic coming onto London Road through Cumwhinton Road and Petteril Bank Road, for the duration of the works to minimise disruption.
The improvement works will be carried out under a night-time traffic light system from approximately 6pm to 2am, each evening. The road will be accessible outside of these hours.
If residents or businesses require access to their property, we kindly request that this is discussed with the Traffic Marshal who will be on site during the works, please be aware that there might be some delays accessing properties.
Access will be maintained for emergency services 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.
