Summarised from News & Star's report · Updated 8 Oct, 18:55 · Archive

Repairs to Cumwhinton Ex-Railway Bridge will now finish by 23 October instead of 9 October.

Repairs to the Cumwhinton Ex-Railway Bridge have been extended by two weeks after additional damage to the bridge parapet was discovered during the project. The work is now expected to finish by 23 October, instead of 9 October.

Cumberland Council said the road will remain closed between 9am and 3.30pm, Monday to Friday, while work is ongoing. Outside these times and at weekends, vehicles will be able to use the route under temporary traffic lights. A signed diversion will stay in place during daytime closures. Emergency service vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists who dismount will maintain access at all times, and waste collections will continue as normal.

The council spokesperson said: 'We understand the extended works may cause inconvenience and would like to thank residents and road users for their patience while these important repairs are carried out to ensure the bridge is left in a safe condition.'
