There are narrow lanes due to roadworks on the A590 both ways between Park Road roundabout and A595 Askam Road, Elliscales roundabout, at Dalton-in-Furness, while new electronic message signs are installed. Work will go until March 29.
Work has started to improve drainage near the roundabout on the A66 at the junction with the A5086 Lamplugh Road at Cockermouth with temporary traffic lights in use from 9.30am-3.30pm and from 8pm-6am. A 40mph speed limit will also be in place and vehicles may be led through the roadworks in convoys at 10mph on some occasions. The scheme should be completed by Monday, February 2.
