We understand the inconvenience caused by the ongoing closure of Dalston Road. The impact and lack of alternative routes available highlights the benefits that the new Carlisle Southern Link Road and the new bridges in the area will bring.
The delays have been caused by a series of unexpected issues out of our control. We are doing all we can to resolve them as quickly as we can.
We have looked at providing an alternative route along the new section of road adjacent to Peter Lane but this is not possible due to the logistical requirements of the Caldew Crossing Bridge.
Therefore, Dalston Road will remain closed until February 2025.
We will continue to do all we can to support local residents and businesses as we appreciate the impact the road closure has. We have installed four electronic matrix boards at strategic locations. These display a ‘Dalston Businesses are open’ message.
