Grade II listed bridge to be closed for repairs
Westmorland and Furness CouncilA Grade II listed bridge on a key commuter route is due to close for repairs.
Duddon Bridge on the A595 near Millom, Cumbria, will be closed for five nights from Monday between 22:00 GMT and 06:00.
Westmorland and Furness Council, which is in charge of the work, said it was needed to "preserve the heritage status and structural integrity" of the bridge.
The authority said the closure times had been agreed with the area's major employers, including Sellafield, BAE Systems, HMP Haverigg and Furness General Hospital, to minimise impact on staff travel.
The project includes the restoration of the parapet walls, with some reconstruction and repointing needed.
A spokesperson for the authority said: "The overnight closure has been planned to try to minimise disruption and we have timed the closure in consultation with several major employers to try to take account of the busiest staff travel times."
