Carlisle Southern Gateway Project work 'taking shape' according to council
Works happening along English Street for the Carlisle Southern Gateway project are 'taking shape' according to Cumberland Council.
The binder course, which forms the essential foundation for the final road surface, has now been laid along the full length of the street and final resurfacing is set for June with the road set to reopen to traffic by the end of the June.
Pedestrian access remains open, with a clear walking route from the station to the taxi rank via the former B&M site.
Meanwhile, the new buff-coloured cycle lane is under construction which the council said is a 'big step toward safe and accessible active travel' in the city.
Work at the Botchergate junction corners will continue over the summer.

A spokesperson for Cumberland Council said: 'Thanks again for your continued patience and support throughout Carlisle's ongoing transformation—and a big thank you to Story Contracting for all their hard work in making it happen.
'For everyone's safety, please stay out of active construction zones—they're being monitored for your protection.'
