Roadworks and maintenance across Carlisle. (Image: Cumberland Council) Users can search by town, postcode or address and view planned works up to 12 months in advance.
The map can also show incidents, live traffic and diversions. You can also filter what level of roadworks the map shows – from high impact to all works.
Carlisle city centre tops the list for high-impact roadworks, particularly English Street, Victoria Viaduct and Devonshire Street. This is due to the regeneration around the city centre and Greenmarket, which has now been extended until August.
Further disruption is being caused by construction on the Southern Link Road, with Wigton Road, Dalston Road, and Peter Lane seeing closures and reduced access. Temporary speed limits are also in place.

There are multi-way traffic lights at Borland Avenue until the end of May. This is due to utility repair and maintenance works. Northern Gas Networks are also working in Eden Street, where there are similar signals.
