Notice from the A595 Grizebeck Improvement Scheme – HGV Restriction.
We are writing to inform you that Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) will be restricted from travelling on a narrow section of the A595 early next year to reduce congestion through Grizebeck.
From 13th January 2025, HGVs over 7.5 tonnes will be restricted from passing through Grizebeck Village and School Road in Kirkby-in-Furness throughout the construction phase of the Council’s multi-million pound investment scheme.
The upcoming temporary measure will alleviate pressure and ease congestion on narrow sections of the A595 which the creation of a new single-carriageway road will address.
Throughout the 18-month restriction, HGVs can continue to access the area if providing a service to businesses and properties in the vicinity. Access for all emergency services and buses will also be maintained throughout.
The Council is working with haulage firms to ensure they are aware of the restriction criteria and clear signage is set to be installed along the route from December.
Once enforced, permanent on-site crews will also ensure HGVs do not proceed through the restricted area.
For information on the restriction and diversion route for HGVs, visit the Westmorland and Furness Council road closure map.
