EMERGENCY repairs on the A685 at Docker Bridge near Grayrigg are forcing a 100-metre stretch of the road to be closed for a week.
Cumbria County Council highways engineers are to close the road on Thursday, November 7, to work on a drainage culvert under the railway bridge that has collapsed.
Through traffic will be diverted along the M6 and A6 Shap to Kendal.
Diversion signs will be in place near the village of Tebay, near Morrisons supermarket in Kendal and on the M6 north of Shap, junction 39, for southbound traffic and south of Junction 38 for northbound traffic.
