Overview
- Cumberland Council has arranged temporary closures on the U2121 and U2128 at Branthwaite near Caldbeck, with the U2121 closed for about 500 metres to allow utility crews to work.
- Westmorland and Furness Council will close a 20-metre section of Broadway in Barrow east of the Westway junction to permit essential utility repairs and prevent vehicles using that stretch.
- Drivers will be routed via clearly signposted diversions, including a specific diversion for Broadway using Westway, the A5087 Roose Road, Gateway and the open section of Broadway.
- Pedestrians and cyclists who dismount will still be allowed to pass through the closed sections, and councils say the measures are time-limited to reduce local disruption.
- Residents can get updates from highways hotlines and must quote reference TTROC/18847 for the Caldbeck works and TTROW/19103 for the Barrow closure when they call.
