A590 overnight closures to disrupt drivers until late November

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 23 Oct, 06:08 · Archive

National Highways is carrying out resurfacing work on the A590 with overnight closures across three sections.

National Highways is carrying out resurfacing work and repainting road markings on the A590 trunk road connecting Furness to the M6. The disruption is concentrated at three locations across several weeks.

Around Ulverston, the main carriageway between Booths roundabout and Park Road roundabout shuts overnight on weekday evenings from 8pm until 6am, running until 31 October. Traffic is diverted along the A595 and A5092. The work began earlier this month under a daytime convoy system before moving to full overnight shutdowns. National Highways said it is carrying out 'essential resurfacing work on the A590 between the Thomas Way junction and Swarthmoor, as well as renewing road markings between Booths roundabout and Thomas Way junction, and between Swarthmoor and Park Road roundabout near Ulverston'.

Further east, another major resurfacing project between Stakes Moss and Witherslack runs until the end of November. A single carriageway closes overnight Monday to Friday, with Meathop Roundabout facing full closures. A contraflow system operates along the westbound dual carriageway from Witherslack to Meathop, with diversions onto the A592 and A591. Commuters also face long-term restrictions between Greenodd Roundabout and Arrad Foot, including roadside work and a layby closure along the westbound carriageway.
