The work starts at 06:00 BST on Monday until 06:00 Wednesday between M-Sport Junction and Dearham Tollbar Junction, then a second closure will begin at 06:00 on Wednesday until Thursday at 20:00 from Cockermouth Roundabout to M-Sport Junction.

A signed diversion will be in place, with access for residents and businesses allowed. The council asked motorists to allow extra time for their journeys on the road that links Maryport with Cockermouth.
