Improvement work on Kendal's junction with Romney Road and Milnthorpe Road will continue from Monday.
Work to improve the junction started last month, but were postponed when Victoria Bridge was closed after recent flood damage to the river bed.
Now the bridge has reopened, work will resume on the Romney Road & Milnthorpe Road junction, with temporary traffic lights in place - which will be operated manually at peak times to help reduce congestion.
Councillor Keith Little, Cumbria County Council Cabinet member for highways, said: “I’m pleased that we’ve been able to reopen Victoria Bridge after repairing damage caused in the floods. We appreciate that the bridge closure caused disruption getting around the town and we’d like to thank drivers for their patience during this period. The Romney Road junction improvement works were suspended to try to ease congestion during the bridge closure but now we can get on with completing this work as soon as possible.”
It's hoped the work will be completed by mid-March, subject to weather conditions.
During the works, vehicles will not be able to exit Romney Road on to Milnthorpe Road due to a temporary road closure. Vehicles will be diverted via Lound Road and Milnthorpe Road.
