A major road in Cumbria will be closed all weekend as improvement works are carried out.

The A595 near Moresby will close from 8pm tonight (June 30) to 5am Monday (July 3).

Drivers are advised to follow the signed A5086 diversion where possible.

Stagecoach bus services will run as usual.

The works are part of a £16million investment by National Highways on the A595 at Moresby to deliver upgrades, which have been ongoing since December 2022.
