Section of B5305 to be closed next week for patching work

A sign saying "Road ahead closed".

Next week, Westmorland and Furness Council will be carrying out pre-surface dressing patching work on the B5305 near Skelton, from the junction with Townhead Farm to its junction with High Buildings. 

The works are scheduled to take place between 8am and 4pm for three days from Monday (20 April). 

To allow the works to be carried out safely, the road will be closed during this period. A fully-signed diversion will be in place. 

Access for emergency service vehicles, pedestrians and dismounted cyclists will be maintained at all times. 
Westmorland and Furness Council would like to thank residents, businesses and road users for their patience and understanding while these essential highway improvements are carried out.
