OVERNIGHT work to tackle wear and tear along the A66 around Brough is to continue intermittently until the middle of August.
The Highways Agency is spending £170,000 on three projects to remove potholes, tackle other surface wear and renew road studs and road markings along stretches of the westbound eastbound carriageway of the route between Brough and up to the border with County Durham at Stainmore.
Highways Agency project sponsor Peter Gee said: “This is routine work to ensure users of the A66 can continue to benefit from safe and smooth journeys.”
