Cumberland Council will be carrying out repair works to the retaining wall along Dacre Road, Carlisle.
The work will take place from its junction with Devonshire Walk / Mayor’s Drive, extending in a south‑easterly direction for approximately 220 metres.
The works are scheduled to take place from Tuesday 5 May until Friday 10 July, subject to weather and site conditions. They work will be carried out by contractors Kirkaldy and Roe Limited during daytime hours, 7am to 6pm, Monday to Friday. The road closure will remain in place for the duration of the works.
The repairs relate to a retaining wall supporting the footpath behind Carlisle Castle. Due to limited access to the embankment, it is necessary to close the road to allow specialist equipment to operate safely. The road will also be used to support the delivery of the works, helping them to be completed efficiently and safely.
To maintain safety and access, routes for pedestrians and dismounted cyclists will be kept open at all times. A signed diversion route for vehicles will be in place via the A595, Castle Way, Bridge Street, Church Street and Devonshire Walk.
Access to and from Bitts Park Car Park will be unaffected and maintained throughout the works.
Cumberland Council thanks residents, businesses and road users for their patience while these essential repairs are carried out.
