A595 Grizebeck Improvement Scheme

07/10/2025

Good afternoon,

We can confirm the project is progressing to programme, and you will have noticed significant developments on site. The construction of the new bridge is nearing completion and is scheduled to open to traffic in early November. Once the new bridge is operational, the temporary road will be removed.

To safely connect the new bridge with the existing road network, a temporary closure of A595 will be required. During this period, the temporary road will also be closed to prepare for the removal.

The A595 will be closed between the Community Hall and Dove Ford on the following weekends:

  • Saturday 25th October - Sunday 26th October

  • Saturday 1st November - Sunday 2nd November

Closures will be in effect from 7:00 AM on Saturday until 5:00 PM on Sunday on both weekends.

A signed diversion will be in place via the A5092, A590, and A595, passing through Greenodd, Ulverston, and Askam-in-Furness. Access will be maintained for emergency service vehicles throughout the closure period.

We understand that road closures can be disruptive, and we sincerely appreciate your continued patience and cooperation as we work to deliver the scheme.

We will keep you updated as we continue our works via the Westmorland and Furness website, our social media pages and the A595 Grizebeck Project mailing list.
