Carlisle Southern Link Road Update - Ivegill Road and Burthwaite Road

Highways sign

Ivegill Road 
 

Work is ongoing along the Ivegill Road, and we are working towards the route reopening in June 2025 once the new structure is surfaced. This may be under traffic light control initially but there will be a direct route between Durdar and Stoneraise School. 

We appreciate your patience whilst the road has been closed so our partners and teams can complete the work safely.

Burthwaite Road 
 

We can confirm that while the Burthwaite Road will be closing, it won’t close until the Ivegill Road has reopened and we are ready to commence works on the Burthwaite Road so there may be a short period when both routes are open.

We expect the closure of the Burthwaite Road to commence on the 23 June 2025. The closure is required to allow our contractors to safely complete the work at Redcat Roundabout and will take at least two months to complete.  

Further updates and a confirmed reopening date will be provided in due course.

The signed diversion route will make use of the newly reopened Ivegill Road.

We thank all residents and road users for their ongoing cooperation during these necessary works.
