Three separate road closures for utility works have been announced across Cumbria over the coming weeks, each with diversions in place.

Vehicles will be diverted via the A590, U5696 Main Road, U5696 Urswick Road, C5034, and the unrestricted section of Carley Lane. Pedestrians and dismounted cyclists will retain access to the road.

In Bowness-on-Windermere, two roads are scheduled to close from November 2 for utility works lasting about one day. The closure affects Fallbarrow Road from its junction with Robinson Place to Lowside, and Low Fold between Fallbarrow Road and Lowside. Drivers should use the unrestricted section of the U5768 as an alternative route.

The C2050 Woodrow in North Cumbria is scheduled to close from October 22 for three days of utility works. The closure will affect an 850-metre stretch from its junction with the U2138, heading southeast. A diversion has been set up via the unrestricted part of the C2050, A595, B5299, Mealsgate, C2066, and U2138. Pedestrians and cyclists who dismount will be able to use the road.
