MOTORISTS are being warned that Jubilee Bridge will be lifted tonight.

A spokesperson for Cumbria County Council said: “Following the resurfacing of the opening span of Jubilee Bridge, we need to undertake a trial bridge lift on Wednesday evening (19th September) at 7pm to ensure that the new surface performs as specified.

"Therefore, while the bridge is open, there will be temporary lights on red at either end of the bridge. You will experience an approximate 20 to 30 minute delay to your journey.

"Please plan your journey accordingly. We apologise for any inconvenience this will cause.”
