We have embarked on a £10.6 million project to open up a key area of Workington and dramatically improve HGV access
Cumberland Council has embarked on a £10.6 million project to open up a key area of Workington and dramatically improve HGV access. The location involves the A66 and A596 at Ramsay Brow and Hall Brow, two of the main roads into the town, which form an important route to the Port of Workington and other major industrial sites to the north of the town.
The project will also mean significant investment for Workington’s historic Hall Park, one of the town’s key recreational and cultural assets, and enhanced pedestrian and cycle routes to and from the town centre.
In 2022, the former Allerdale Borough Council applied to the Government for Levelling Up funding. A total of £9.6 million was granted, along with £1 million from Cumberland Council which is now driving the project forward.
The Workington Gateway Project will offer many benefits for the whole community, as well as the West Cumbrian economy.
The entire scheme should be completed in 2025.
