DETAILS of roadworks due to take place on some of Cumbria's busiest roads for the next week have been published.

Highways England has published details of the roadworks due to be carried out on motorways and major trunk roads in the region for the following seven days.

M6 junction 34 Lancaster Lancashire County Council work off the motorway on the Heysham Link project requires a lane 1 and hard shoulder closure in both directions on the motorway around junction 34.

M6 junction 39 Shap to 38 Tebay A combination of resurfacing, bridge joint replacement and fencing renewal on the M6 southbound started on Monday 15 August for about 7 weeks. This will involve a temporary 50mph speed limit for the duration of the works and lane and slip road closures. Most of the work – between 8pm and 6am at night - will be done with lane closures but some slip roads will need to be closed overnight occasionally.

A590 Pool Foot to Roam Bridge Carriageway reconstruction and resurfacing alongside Rusland Pool layby, between Pool Foot and Roam Bridge, will start overnight on Sunday (25 September) with temporary traffic lights in place. From Monday 26th, the A590 will be totally closed in both directions, between 8pm and 6am for a total of 4 nights. . Drivers heading eastbound for the M6 will need to follow a diversion from Greenodd roundabout – using the A5902, A5084 to Torver. A593 through Coniston village and Ambleside and then the A591 and A592 to Windermere and Newby Bridge respectively. Drivers heading westbound towards Ulverston and Barrow will need to use the same diversion in reverse from Newby Bridge.

A590 Ulverston Overnight traffic signals will be in place on some Saturday nights (10pm to 10am) from 13 August into October whilst painting work is being undertaken to the bridges at Red Syke and Dykelands. Lane 1 of the eastbound carriageway just west of Greenodd roundabout is currently closed until further notice while we undertake a survey of the embankment.

A595 Blackbeck Bridge repairs south of Blackbeck roundabout, between Egremont and Calder Bridge, started on Monday 12 September for 6 weeks. Work will take place around the clock with a temporary speed limit and temporary traffic lights in place. The traffic lights will be staffed at key times.

A66 Keswick A 4 week programme of overnight work to resurface sections of the A66 between Crosthwaite roundabout and the bridge over the River Greta High Briery interchange with the A591 started on Monday 12 September. Most of the resurfacing will be done between 8pm and 6am each night – with a temporary 40mph speed limit and often with temporary traffic lights being used to manage traffic through the roadworks.

A66 Embleton 24hr traffic signals will be in place from 19 September until Christmas, although these will be reduced to daytime signals where safety allows, whilst carriageway works are undertaken to alleviate flood risk. Further works will be done at other sites adjacent to Bassenthwaite Lake from October which will necessitate full overnight closures and contraflows; full details of which will be published nearer the time.
