Cumberland Council is informing residents, visitors, and businesses that Blaze Bridge in High Lorton will be undergoing repairs in July.
The Highways team is scheduled to start the refurbishment work on Monday July 3. The project is expected to take between six to eight weeks to complete and the team will be working from 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday.
The refurbishment of the bridge includes rock armour placement, retaining wall and approach wall rebuild, carriageway drainage improvements and re-pointing of bridge elements.
During this time, the road will be fully closed for all vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians with no access allowed.
The council says that the closure is necessary to carry out the essential maintenance works, and to ensure the safety of all road users. There will be a signed diversion route in place.
