A MAJOR road is currently closed whilst urgent reconnection works take place.

Church Walk in Ulverston is currently shut to enable BT Openreach to carry out urgent reconnection works.

It is expected that the works will take three nights, between the hours of 9pm and 6am.

The road has been shut since Monday for a period of five days. It will reopen to motorists from Saturday.

An alternative route has been made available for drivers on Back Lane, Tarn Side, Hart Street and Fountain Street.
