All routes through Moor Row closed for two weeks

 As all residents of the village will have noticed by now, and all motorists trying to drive through the village found out the hard way, road resurfacing work started today for two weeks, and all routes through Moor Row in Cumbria are closed to vehicular traffic.

The area closed to through traffic during resurfacing work includes a large chunk of the East end of Scalegill Road, all the area of Church Street which would normally be open to vehicles, and a strip of Dalziel Street at the Church Street junction near to the Pearson Close junction.

The effect of this is that you cannot drive through Moor Row in any direction - not from the A595 North of Bigrigg to Keekle, or vice versa and not from Wood End to Keekle.

This is one of a large number of road works affecting major and minor routes through West Cumbria at the moment. If you are trying to drive anywhere in West Cumbria at the moment, particularly in the vicinity of Cleator Moor, Frizington or Moor Row, I strongly advise you to check first for the best route.
