Planned roadworks that would close a section of the A590 during night-time hours this week have now been delayed until tomorrow evening (Tuesday).
Highways England have said that due to bad weather, work will now start one day later than originally planned, but will still last three days once started.
The roadworks, which are yet to be confirmed, are set to take place on the eastbound A590 at the junction with the A592 in the Newby Bridge area.
The works are scheduled to take place from tomorrow night until Friday morning, with all lanes to be closed in the area between 8pm and 6am.
Diversion:
Highways England have put a diversion in place, and are directing drivers approaching from the west to follow the A592 through Bowness and Windermere, joining the A591 heading east and passing Kendal and Sizergh before joining the A590 at the Brettargh Holt roundabout.
Approaching from the east, drivers are being directed on the A591 past Kendal until reaching Windermere, and then joining the A592 at Windermere, following the road south through Bowness until rejoining the A590.
In either direction, the diversion will be 21.6 miles, and will take an estimated 35 minutes, dependent on traffic.
Access times:
During the evening closures on these dates, residents living on the section where the works are taking place will have access to and from their homes.
The roads are set to be open as normal during the day between 6am and 8pm.
A spokesperson for Highways England said: "The closures will be part of resurfacing works as part of our scheme to improve the roads in the region.
"The diversion in place is to allow the safe access of all types of vehicles using the roads in the region."
Other roadworks:
Elsewhere, one lane is currently closed on the eastbound A590 near Greenodd, between the A5087 east of Ulverston and the junction with the A5092 for emergency roadworks.
This is due to the embankment survey currently taking place at Greenodd.
The work there is set to last until 1pm on Tuesday.
