North West maintenance schemes

We’re resurfacing a 1.5-mile section of the A66 westbound carriageway near Troutbeck, between Penrith and Keswick.

We’ll also improve sections of drainage on the route, from Mungrisdale junction and east of the Troutbeck junction with the A5091

During our work, the A66 will always be open but traffic management will be in place for safety. 

Roadworks

One lane in each direction will be open to drivers between 6am and 7pm every day with a 40mph speed limit.

At night (7pm to 6am) we’ll operate a convoy system. Drivers approaching the roadworks from both directions will be held at temporary traffic signals. 

Motorists will then be escorted safely past the traffic management by our workforce.

Please note, side road closures and diversions are needed when we’re working near Mungrisdale, Troutbeck and Lisco / Walthwaite junctions. 

We’re working hard to reduce disruption. This includes removing roadworks over the three Easter and spring bank holiday weekends to help people enjoy smoother journeys.
