Overview
- Westmorland and Furness Council has issued temporary traffic orders closing sections of Ramsden Street and Church Street Back Street in Barrow to allow highway works, with alternative vehicle routes signed via Albert Street and School Street.
- Victoria Road in Ulverston will be closed for work on a new footbridge by Metcalfe Plant Hire and the council says there is no suitable vehicle alternative while pedestrian passage and emergency access will be kept.
- The council says pedestrians and dismounted cyclists will be able to use maintained routes at both sites despite one report incorrectly stating Ramsden Street would be closed to pedestrians.
- Road users and local residents should follow on-site diversion signage and can contact the Highways Hotline on 0300 373 3306 for queries, quoting TTROW/19956 for Barrow and TTROW/19332 for Ulverston.
- The measures are being made through Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders and may change local journeys and business access, so residents should watch council updates and on-site instructions for any timing or access adjustments.
