Road closures planned on A66 in Cumbria next week
A stretch of the A66 in Cumbria will be closed overnight from Monday.
The road will be closed at Braithwaite, east of the Bassenthwaite Lake dual carriageway, from Monday to Saturday betwen 8pm and 6am.
The closures will allow the final phase of surfacing work to be carried out in long-running roadworks.
Traffic lights, a lane closure on the dual carriageway and a 40mph speed limit will remain in place outside those times for safety.
Access to Braithwaite will be maintained throughout.
Traffic travelling between Keswick and West Cumbria will be diverted via the A591. HGVs will be directed via the M6 and A595.
