Road works planned for Currock
Cumbria County Council is informing residents and businesses in Currock, that resurfacing work will be taking place on Currock Road between Currock Park Avenue and Red Bank Terrace, in January.
The works will be carried out in two phases:
Phase 1 - Trial Trenches from Monday 9 to Friday 13 January 2023
To enable the Highways team to work safely there will be a two-way temporary traffic light system in operation. This is to minimise disruption during the first five days of the project, these will be removed during the weekend before Phase 2 begins.
Phase 2 - Currock Road Resurfacing Monday 16 to Tuesday 24 January 2023
To carry out the resurfacing work a road closure, will be in place on Currock Road.
During this time, residents are asked not to park on Currock Road between Red Bank Terrace and Currock Park Avenue and will need to find alternate parking arrangements. A signed diversion will be in place throughout Phase 2 via St Nicholas, Botchergate, English Street, Victoria Viaduct, James Street and the unrestricted section of Currock Road.
Access will not be affected to businesses along Currock Road however deliveries will have to follow the diversion route provided.
Residents will be able to access their properties on foot, but if they encounter any problems, they are advised to liaise with the site staff or contact the Highways Hotline at 0300 303 2992.
Access for emergency vehicles will be permitted through the closure points during the works.
Cumbria County Council would like to thank the community for their continued support and patience while the highway network is improved. The county council apologies for any inconvenience caused by these improvements.
Councillor Keith Little, Cumbria County Council Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, said:
"We would like to thank the community and businesses for their continued support, while we improve the road network.
“We understand that these resurfacing plans may cause some disruptions and we do apologise for this.
