Final phase dates set for A684 roadworks project between Sedbergh and Garsdale Head

Overview

Westmorland and Furness Council has announced the dates for the final phase of a roadworks scheme on the A684 between Sedbergh and Garsdale Head in South Cumbria. The project, ongoing since June, addresses damaged retaining walls, culverts, and drainage issues. A full road closure is scheduled from 26 October to 13 November to replace the Potgill Holme cattle grid, with a signed diversion route in place.

Key points

  • The final phase of the A684 roadworks scheme will take place from 26 October to 13 November.
  • The closure is required to replace the Potgill Holme cattle grid.
  • Reconstruction of the Bellow Hill Culvert is progressing well and expected to finish on 16 October.
  • A 24/7 diversion will be routed via the B6259, A685, A683, and A684, but is unsuitable for vehicles exceeding 14ft 6in in height.
  • Additional restrictions will be enforced on adjacent roads to prevent rat-running.
