Cumberland Council is informing the community that planned works, scheduled for this evening and the following nights in the Muncaster area have been postponed.

The project aims to assess the bridge structures load capacity, for Muncaster Mill Bridge and Muncaster Bridge on A595, with the aim of identifying possible future maintenance needs.

The postponement of the scheduled works is a precautionary measure considering weather forecasts.
