Ullock Bridge in Cumberland will close from November 2 for six weeks of strengthening works costing £27.3 million.

Ullock Bridge on the C2030 in Cumberland will close from November 2 for six weeks as part of a £27.3 million investment to improve the area's highway network. The project includes installing a reinforced concrete saddle to extend the bridge's lifespan and ensure long-term safety for the community.

The road will be fully closed throughout the project with no access for vehicles, pedestrians, emergency services or dismounted cyclists at any time. A signed diversion will be in place for the duration of the closure.

Cumberland Council said the scheme is part of its wider efforts to keep infrastructure safe, resilient and functional for the future. Work is expected to be completed by mid-December, weather permitting.
