DRIVERS in and around Carlisle will have nine National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.
And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing a holdup of between 10 and 30 minutes.
The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:
• M6, from 8pm August 22 to 6am September 6, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6 northbound and southbound, junction 43 to 44, Lane 1/2 closure for Message sign installations.
And a further seven closures will begin over the next two weeks:
• M6, from 7am September 2 to 7pm September 6, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M6 northbound, junction 41 to 42 - lane closure for communications.
• A69, from 7pm to 11pm on September 3, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A69 Corby Hill crossroads - four-way lights to carry out, junction resurfacing work.
• A69, from 7pm September 3 to 6am September 5, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A69 Naworth, lane closure for carriageway resurfacing.
• A69, from 7pm September 5 to 6am September 6, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A69 Hayton, one lane closed for carriageway resurfacing.
• A69, from 7pm September 6 to 6am September 7, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A69 Low Row, traffic signals to allow carriageway repairs.
• M6, from 7am September 10 to 5am September 11, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M6 northbound, junction 43 to junction 44, Lane closures for carriageway reconstruction.
• A69, from 7pm September 12 to 6am September 13, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A69 Low Row, carriageway resurfacing.
National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
