Cumberland Council would like to update residents and businesses about upcoming road improvements on the A5086 at Frizington.
The work will be carried out by the council’s contractor DSD Construction Limited and will start on Monday 22 July for six weeks. To manage traffic during this period a road closure will be in place.
This project is part of Cumberland Council’s extensive road improvement programme, which has already successfully completed work on several roads, including the A5086 from Scallow Farm to Rowrah, A595 Whicham Valley, A5086 from Crossgates to Kirkland, and the A595 Waberthwaite.
The upcoming improvements will include road repairs, footway improvements, drainage replacement, and refreshing road markings.
Details for the work, from Monday 22 July, are as follows:
- Full Closures: from 7.00am to 7.00pm, the site will be closed for vehicle access – pedestrian access will be available throughout the works. Residents access will be maintained when safe to do so.
- Phased Works: the project will be organised in two phases. The first phase will cover the area from the beginning of the village to just before Yeathouse Road. The second phase will extend from Yeathouse Road to beyond the mini roundabout. All work in the first phase will be completed before moving on to the second phase.
Access for emergency vehicles, under blue lights, will be maintained, at all times.
Cumberland Council understand that this project may cause some inconvenience to road users, however, the council is working with local stakeholders, including Parish Councils and local members, to minimise disruption as much as possible.
Cumberland Council wishes to thank the community for their continued support and patience while they improve the road network and apologise for any inconvenience.
