Carlisle closes streets for road improvements

English Street and Devonshire Street in Carlisle will be closed for eight weeks starting today, disrupting traffic and requiring bus diversions. The closure is due to road improvements at the junction, including duct installation, upgraded signals, and new paving. Bus routes 62, 64, and 69 will be rerouted, and passengers should check for updates. This is part of the Southern Gateway project, a larger £100 million regeneration effort by the city council to enhance infrastructure and boost economic growth.
