The A66 alongside Bassenthwaite Lake will be closed overnight from 8pm tomorrow until 6am on Sunday.

A diversion will run between High Hill junction and Crosthwaite roundabout.

Workers are on site to protect the road from flooding in a £1.5 million scheme.

They are raising parts of the carriageway and making sure the stability of the embankment at the western end of the dual carriageway is improved.
