Cumberland Council has announced a planned road closure affecting a section of the C4029 Haverigg Road. The closure is scheduled to begin on 30 March and will last for approximately five weeks. Subject to the display of relevant traffic signs.
The closure will impact the stretch of road from the Moor Road junction extending south-east for about 170 metres. Despite the closure, officials have assured that pedestrian and dismounted cyclist access will be maintained at all times.
Details of the Closure
The road closure is necessary to carry out works on the specified section of Haverigg Road. It will come into effect only when the appropriate traffic signs are in place, signalling the start of the closure period.
The affected area runs from the Moor Road junction and continues south-east along the C4029 for roughly 170 metres. This temporary measure is expected to last for five weeks, allowing sufficient time for the planned works to be completed.
Access and Alternative Routes
While the road will be closed to vehicles, pedestrians and dismounted cyclists will still be able to pass through the area safely. This ensures that local residents and visitors can continue to access the village on foot or by bike without disruption.
For vehicular traffic, an alternative route will be clearly signposted. Drivers will be directed to use the unrestricted sections of the C4029 Haverigg Road, Poolside, Main Street, the A5093, and Palmers Lane. This diversion aims to minimise inconvenience and maintain traffic flow around the closure.
Further Information and Contact
Residents and road users with questions or concerns about the closure can contact the Highways Hotline on 0300 373 3736. Additional information is also available on the Cumberland Council website.
