Cumberland Council are updating residents and businesses about the progress on the Bothel/ Torpenhow junction on the A595
The project was initiated by Cumbria County Council, and now Cumberland Council is responsible for the improvement works to the Greyhound Inn/Torpenhow junction on the A595; between Bothel and Torpenhow.
The project aims to improve the quality of the roads, reduce travel times, improve reliability, safety, and resilience of journeys. Residents and businesses will have better access to Carlisle and West Cumbria, thereby supporting the local economy.
Construction of the Torpenhow junction is part of the ‘Get Building Fund’ which is administered by the Cumbria Local Enterprise Partnership.
The construction value is estimated to be around £2.6 million with wider land, legal and development costs taking the project budget to around £3.6 million.
Due to recent wet weather, progress has been slowed. The works are now estimated for completion at the end of May 2023.
Cumberland Council would like to thank all residents, businesses and commuters for their understanding and continued support for this project and apologise for any inconvenience the works have caused.
More information about the project can be found on Cumberland Council’s website.
