Full closures of the A66 Stainburn bypass will start overnight from Monday as roadworks continue.

Highways England are entering a new phase of their work to improve junctions and deliver environmental improvements along the A66 between Cockermouth and Workington.

From Monday there will be three-way traffic signals in place at Great Clifton roundabout, plus nightly, 8pm to 6am, Monday to Saturday, full closures of Stainburn bypass with a clearly-signed diversion in place.

Some work will also be done during off-peak periods during the day with occasional narrow lanes in place.

The project includes improvements to pollinator habitats along the road which are being delivered as part of the Get Cumbria Buzzing partnership.

Highways England say they are working alongside Cumbria County Council and United Utilities to ensure that the impact on road users and residents is minimised whilst their works are ongoing.
