Drivers will have some National Highways road closures to watch out for this month.

In Allerdale, there are to be several road closures over the next seven days.

The A66 will remain closed until 5:00 am on April 13, after closing last night (April 11) at 7:00 pm, with only slight delays of under 10 minutes to be expected.

The A66 eastbound and westbound - Burns to Threlkeld - will be affected, with the road closure being a result of manhole replacements and repairs.

Temporary traffic lights will be in place.

Then, another portion of the A66 is to see repairs that will result in similar delays.

This closure will be westbound, from the Keswick junction to the Portinscale junction, with traffic signals in place.

These roadworks include a lantern being replaced.

Copeland drivers will only have one to look out for, and a wide margin of delay - between 10 minutes and half an hour - is to be expected.

The A595 between Blackbeck to Thornhill will be shut for utility works from April 19 at 8:00 am to April 21 at 5:00 pm.

A diversion route will be signposted.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
