A595 Grizebeck improvement
This project aims to help boost economic growth in the area by creating a resilient route that will support the safe and reliable movement of goods and people into, around, and out of Barrow-in-Furness.
Road safety and access to local communities such as Grizebeck Village will benefit.
Project details
The A595 Grizebeck improvement scheme is a 1.4 kilometre single carriageway road between Chapels and Grizebeck on the A595 north of Barrow.

The route runs to the east of the existing A595, past properties at Dove Bank and Dove Ford Farm, before crossing the existing A595 and then forming a new junction with the A595/A5092 to the west of the existing junction.
