The second project will close the road from the C1042 to the U3047 at Holmwrangle, Ainstable (CA4 9RD). Fibrus Networks Limited will carry out the works between 22 July 2026 and 24 July 2026, also causing very long delays. Both notices advise motorists to expect road closures and significant traffic disruption during the specified periods.
