WORKS to a major Lake District road have been completed according to the council.

Cumbria County Council Highways have confirmed that emergency work on the A591 at Holbeck Bridge, near Windermere, has now finished.

The council reported today that the temporary one-way traffic control system has now been removed with immediate effect.

Works to the bridge had to be carried out after a routine assessment on Tuesday revealed deterioration to the bridge’s concrete slabs.
