Allerdale road closures: One to avoid over the next fortnight

But the news isn't too bad, as it is only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure is due to start over the next two weeks:

• A595, from 1am July 29 to 7pm July 31, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A595 northbound and southbound, Distington to Chapel Brow Roundabout, traffic signals and coning of the verge.

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