Aynam Road is now 20mph for nine months of flood defence work. Nether Bridge closes for five days from 12 October, and Brigsteer Road is shut this week.

Kendal has two motorway junctions, one river running through the middle of it, and a flood defence scheme that has been rebuilding the riverbanks for years. Most local delays come from one of those three things. This page lists the Kendal roadworks booked in now, which routes matter, and where to check before you set off.

Last checked 22 September 2026 against the council’s statutory traffic orders, its own announcements, National Highways’ north west schedule and Northern’s engineering list.

Aynam Road is now 20mph, and stays that way for nine months

This is the longest restriction on this page by a distance, and it is in the middle of Kendal.

The council made a temporary 20mph order for Aynam Road on 17 September. It came into operation on Monday 21 September, so the limit is in force now, and the notice says the restriction is anticipated to be required for nine months. That takes it into the summer of 2027.

  • It runs from the Bridge Street junction, south east then south west, for about 730 metres.
  • The reason given is flood defence works, which is the Kendal Flood Risk Management Scheme working along that reach of the Kent.
  • The order can legally stay in force for eighteen months. Nine months is the council’s own expectation, not a limit.
  • The reference is TTROW/21002. Queries go to the Highways Hotline on 0300 373 3306.

The council advertised this on 3 September as something it intended to do, and we treated it as a proposal then. The 17 September notice is the made order, so it is now a decision. Source: the made order of 17 September.

Aynam Road carries the A65 along the east bank of the Kent into the one-way system. Nine months at 20mph there is a permanent change to how long it takes to get through Kendal from the south, not a weekend inconvenience.

The M6 barrier scheme runs to 11 December

National Highways is replacing the central reservation barrier on the M6 near Burton-in-Kendal, starting at Borwick Lane overbridge. The scheme runs Monday 14 September to Friday 11 December 2026, and junction 36 is Kendal’s junction.

For the whole three months there is a lane 3 closure in both directions and a 40mph limit. That is the part most Kendal drivers will actually meet, and it is there every day until December.

The overnight work is phased. As at 22 September:

  • The five nights of full southbound closure between junctions 36 and 35 are over. National Highways published that window as 15 to 19 September, 8pm to 6am, along with a single overnight closure of the junction 36 northbound exit slip on 17 September. Nothing else on this scheme is advertised as a full closure.
  • To Sunday 27 September: lanes 1 and 2 closed northbound between junctions 35 and 36, overnight, 8pm to 6am. That is running now, tonight included.
  • 28 September to 2 October: lanes 2 and 3 closed northbound on the same stretch, overnight, 8pm to 6am. That is the next change.

Nothing on the scheme’s published programme has changed since 12 September. We checked it again on 22 September and the phases still read exactly as above.

That matters here for a reason this page keeps coming back to. When the M6 shuts near Kendal, the A6 through the town is the alternative, and the traffic arrives whether or not anyone has told the town. Source: National Highways’ north west maintenance schemes.

Ten roads including five stretches of the A591, confirmed from 14 September

This is now a decision rather than a proposal. The council made the South Lakeland Temporary Prohibition of All Traffic (No. 2) Order 2026 on 10 September, a fortnight after advertising that it intended to. Nothing on the road list changed between the two versions.

Two details matter before the road list. The order prohibits all traffic, including pedestrians and cyclists, not just vehicles. And it came into operation on Monday 14 September and is anticipated to be needed for about one month, applying only as and when the signs are out. A road on this list is not shut for a month. It is shut when you find cones on it. On the council’s own expectation the whole exercise should be finished around 14 October.

Source: the made order of 10 September.

Three points a Kendal driver should take from that table.

  • The A591 is the road to Windermere and Ambleside, and five separate lengths of it are on one order. Two of them, Skelghyll Lane and Rydal Road, sit either side of Ambleside.
  • The published diversions for the A591 closures are enormous. For northbound non-motorway traffic the order signs a route via the A592, A5091 and the A66 at Keswick. For motorway traffic it signs the A590 and the M6. There is no short way round a closed A591 in the central Lakes, and the order says so in the routes it names.
  • A closure on the A683 at Barbon puts traffic through the middle of Kendal. The order’s southbound non-motorway diversion runs Lound Road, Kirkland, Highgate, Lowther Street, New Road, Blackhall Road, Sandes Avenue, Longpool and Appleby Road. That is Kendal’s main street, on a road closure ten miles away.

One entry in the schedule does not add up, and we are flagging it rather than tidying it away. The second Church Street, Beetham closure, TTROW/20059, is given as extending 15 km south west from the B5360, with a diversion via the A592, A590 and A591. Beetham has no 15 km of Church Street, and that diversion belongs to the Windermere end of the district. We flagged it when it was a proposal. The made order of 10 September repeats it word for word, so treat that one extent as an error in the paperwork rather than as a 15 km closure.

Nether Bridge shuts for five days from 12 October

Nether Bridge will be closed to all vehicles from Monday 12 October for a maximum of five days, 24 hours a day, while a 10-metre section of the southern parapet wall is rebuilt. The wall was demolished in a traffic incident in June.

  • The signed diversion runs via Romney Bridge and Milnthorpe Road.
  • Extra signs will keep HGVs off Parkside Road, because of the 13ft 3in height restriction at the railway bridge.
  • Pedestrians and cyclists keep the bridge, using the northern footway.
  • The southern footway stays closed for several weeks after the road reopens, because covers have to protect the lime mortar while it cures.

Source: the council’s announcement of 9 September. No temporary traffic order for the closure had been advertised on the Public Notice Portal when we checked again on 22 September. The council announced the closure on 9 September, and thirteen days later the statutory order for it has still not been advertised. That is worth watching rather than worrying about: the diversion route only becomes legally published when that notice appears, and the council normally advertises these on a Thursday. We have set out why the repair takes this shape, and why October rather than next summer, in our report on the Nether Bridge closure.

Powson Bridge is shut, and the December end date has quietly gone

The C5069 crosses the M6 on Powson Bridge, just north of junction 37 near Lambrigg. The parapets are being replaced, and the bridge is shut to vehicles.

The council made the order on 27 August, so this is now a decision rather than a proposal. It came into operation on 1 September.

  • Closed to vehicles for 25 metres either side of the bridge.
  • Pedestrians and dismounted cyclists keep a way across at all times.
  • The signed diversion runs via the C5070, C5068 Docker Lane, C5069 Kinn Road, the A684 and C5069 Old Scotch Road.
  • The order is anticipated to be needed for about 9 weeks, which points to early November. It can legally run for eighteen months. Reference TTROW/19935.

There is a date that has quietly disappeared, and it matters if you planned around it. In August, National Highways advertised this closure as running to 18 December 2026. Its north west maintenance schemes page carried no mention of Powson, junction 37 or the C5069 on 5 September, and still carried none when we checked again on 22 September. The only end date published by anyone is the council’s “about 9 weeks”, which points to early November.

Source: the council’s made order of 27 August.

The utility batch from 1 September has worked itself out

The council’s South Lakeland Temporary Traffic Regulation (No. 1) Order 2026, made on 27 August, covered five utility closures from 1 September. On their published durations all five are now finished: the U5192 at Newby Bridge, Birks Road at Storrs, Stock Ghyll Lane in Ambleside, the U5341 at Leasgill and Brantfell Road in Bowness, which ran for about three days from 14 September. Source: the made order.

A new batch has replaced it, and the ones that matter are in the list further down this page. Two of them carry the phrase this page always flags: there is no suitable alternative route available for vehicles at Lake Road in Coniston and at Leasgill in October.

Hayclose Lane is on temporary speed limits for 16 weeks

This one started quietly on 24 August and will outlast almost everything else on this page. The council has made an order imposing temporary speed limits on Hayclose Lane, Kendal, for utility works, anticipated to be needed for about 16 weeks. That takes it to around mid-December.

  • 40mph for about 400 metres south west of the A684 junction.
  • 40mph for about 400 metres north of the Oxenholme Road (B6254) junction.
  • 30mph on the 615 metres in between.

The order explains what the 40mph sections are for: they apply where work is ongoing but the contractor’s operatives and plant are not on site, to protect drivers passing through narrowed lanes. Reference TTROW/19960, published in the made order.

Twenty roads, and the order behind them runs out tomorrow

Westmorland and Furness Council’s South Lakeland Temporary Traffic Regulation Order No. 14 of 2026 came into operation on 23 August 2026. It is a made order, not a proposal.

Two things about it matter more than the road list. The order prohibits all traffic, including pedestrians and cyclists, not just vehicles. And the council expects the closures to be needed for about one month, applying only as and when the signs are actually out. So a road on this list is not shut for the whole month. It is shut when you find cones on it, and on the council’s own expectation the whole exercise should be finished around Wednesday 23 September, which is tomorrow. If any of these roads is still coned after that, the council needs a fresh order for it. We have found no notice reviving any of them.

Two of those sting more than the rest. Wrynose Pass and Side Gates Road together take out the through route from Little Langdale over the pass. Victoria Street and Crescent Road are in the middle of Bowness.

Kendal's key routes and what is happening on each Schematic diagram of the seven roads radiating from Kendal. The A6 runs north to Shap and Penrith and south to Milnthorpe and Lancaster. The A591 runs north west to Windermere and Ambleside. The A590 runs south west to Grange-over-Sands and Barrow. The A685 runs north east to Tebay and M6 junction 38. The M6 junctions 36 and 37 lie to the east. The A65 runs south east to Kirkby Lonsdale. Three works are marked. Aynam Road in Kendal, on the A65, has had a temporary 20mph limit over 730 metres since 21 September 2026, which the council expects to need for nine months. The M6 between junctions 35 and 36 has lane 3 closed in both directions and a 40mph limit until 11 December 2026. Five lengths of the A591, at Skelghyll Lane, Rydal, Troutbeck Bridge, Windermere and Staveley, are closed to all traffic under a made order until about 14 October. The seven roads out of Kendal, and what is on them Schematic, not to scale. Works as advertised at 22 September 2026.

Kendal is a road junction as much as a town. When the M6 shuts, the A6 through Kendal becomes the diversion, which is the single biggest cause of unexpected town-centre traffic here. Sources: Westmorland and Furness Council temporary traffic orders and National Highways, at 22 September 2026.

What else is booked in

Orders the council has already made. These are decisions:

  • B6254 and U5631 at Oxenholme, running now to about 29 September. The B6254 is closed for 200 metres south east of Hayclose Lane, the U5631 for 100 metres south of the B6254. Diversions via Hophouse Lane, the A65, Burton Road and Oxenholme Road, and via Burton Road and Helm Lane. Ref TTROW/20119.
  • Brigsteer Road, Kendal, closed from today, Tuesday 22 September, for about 3 days. The longest closure on the list at 1.7 km, starting about 375 metres north east of Whetstone Lane. Diversion via the rest of Brigsteer Road, Brigsteer Brow, the C5059, the C5048 and the U664. Because Brigsteer Road and Underbarrow Road have a 6ft 6in width restriction, the notice says anything wider will be let through the closure as and when it is safe. Ref TTROW/20164. Advertised in August as about five days; the made order says about three.
  • C5020 Skelwith Bridge, from Wednesday 23 September, about 2 days. Closed for 155 metres south east of the U5018. Diversion via the C5020, A593, B5286 and C5019. Ref TTROW/20165.
  • A592, Newby Bridge, from Wednesday 23 September, about 1 day. Closed for 490 metres, starting 750 metres south of the U5251. Diversion via the A592, A591 and A590. Ref TTROW/20140.
  • Blue Hill Road, Ambleside, from Wednesday 23 September, about 1 day. Closed for 30 metres, 45 metres north west of Fisherbeck Lane. Ref TTROW/20214.
  • C5048 Underbarrow, west of Kendal, from Monday 28 September, about 12 days. Closed for 140 metres east of the U5334. Diversion via the C5047, A5074, C5060, B5284 and Mountjoy Brow. Ref TTROW/20124.
  • B5271 Windermere Road, Lindale, from Monday 28 September, about 1 day. Closed for 305 metres from the C5046. Diversion via Windermere Road, Lindale Road (B5277), Grange Road and the C5046. Ref TTROW/20244.
  • B6254 Kearswick, at the Kirkby Lonsdale end of the road, from Tuesday 29 September, about 2 weeks. Closed for 170 metres south east of the C5079, with diversions signed through Kirkby Lonsdale. Ref TTROW/20122.
  • Back Road, Lindale, from Wednesday 30 September, about 2 days. Closed for 25 metres east of School Lane. Ref TTROW/20100.
  • Lake Road, Coniston, two nights from Monday 5 October, 7pm to 6am only. Closed for 125 metres south east of Beck Yeat. The notice says there is no suitable alternative route available for vehicles. Ref TTROW/20298.
  • U5340, Leasgill, from Monday 5 October, about 5 days. Closed for 115 metres south east of the C5072, again with no suitable alternative route available for vehicles. Ref TTROW/20376.
  • C5071, Natland, from Tuesday 13 October, about 1 day. Closed for 305 metres south of St Marks Fold. Diversion via the C5071, A65, U5631 and U5629. Ref TTROW/20332.

The Skelwith Bridge, Coniston, Leasgill, Lindale, Natland, Newby Bridge and Ambleside orders were all published on 17 September, in one utility notice, a second and a third. The Oxenholme, Underbarrow and Kearswick closures are in the made order of 10 September, and Brigsteer Road is in a second made order of the same date.

Orders the council has advertised but not yet made. These are intentions, and they can change:

  • Old Lake Road, Ambleside, from 28 September, about 3 days. Closed for 30 metres. Ref TTROW/20094.
  • B5343 Chapel Stile and U5527 Little Langdale, from 29 September. Four kilometres of the B5343 and 3.5 km of the U5527, with the only way round the C5004. A second phase, on the U5527 from the A593 and the whole of the U5003, is advertised from 13 October for about 2 weeks. Refs TTROW/19163 and TTROW/19146, in the notice of 10 September. The first phase still has no usable end date: the notice gives its duration as “10 days/weeks”, which is the council’s own wording and is not a duration.
  • A5074 Main Road, Windermere, from Sunday 4 October, about 1 day. This one prohibits all traffic, including pedestrians and cyclists, for 225 metres north of Crescent Road, in the middle of Windermere. The signed route runs Ellerthwaite Square, New Road, Lake Road, Crag Brow, Rayrigg Road, Ambleside Road and Elleray Road. Ref TTROW/20324.
  • Calder Drive, Kendal, from Monday 5 October, about 5 days. Closed for 35 metres east of Sandylands Road. Diversion via Sandylands Road, Peat Lane and the rest of Calder Drive. Ref TTROW/19844.
  • Parkside Road, Kendal, Sunday 4 October, one day, 9.30am to 2.30pm only. Closed for 25 metres either side of the centre line of the bridge, for vegetation clearance. Pedestrians and dismounted cyclists keep a way across. The signed diversion is a long one for a short closure: Singleton Park Road, Hayclose Lane, the B6254 Oxenholme Road, the A65 Burton Road, A65 Lound Road and the rest of Parkside Road. Ref TTROW/20209, in the notice of 17 September.
  • C5071 Natland, from Monday 5 October. Closed for 200 metres north of the U5629, with the diversion signed via the A65 Burton Road, the C5075 and the rest of the C5071. The notice gives the duration as “5 days/weeks”, which is the council’s own wording and settles nothing. Ref TTROW/18222. Note that this is a second Natland closure, separate from the one-day job on the same road from 13 October below.
  • B5285 Hawkshead, from Monday 5 October, about 3 days, closed to all traffic including pedestrians and cyclists for 625 metres, 1.1 km south east of the U5025. Diversion via the rest of the B5285, the C5027 and the C5026. Ref TTROW/20725.
  • Sunny Bank, Windermere, from Monday 26 October, about 5 days. Closed for its entire length from Queens Drive, with the way round via Queens Drive and Prince’s Road. Ref TTROW/20040. Both this and the Natland closure are in the notice of 17 September; Hawkshead is in a separate one of the same date.

A Kendal footpath closes for a fortnight in October. The council intends to prohibit pedestrians from the whole of public footpath 536026 in the parish of Kendal from 5 October, while VolkerStevin carries out ground survey investigations. VolkerStevin is one of the joint venture partners on the flood scheme. The notice says plainly that no alternative is available for pedestrians, and that the works are expected to take two weeks. Source: the notice of 17 September.

On the trunk roads:

  • A590, Meathop Roundabout to Stakes Moss: still not confirmed, three weeks on. In late August National Highways had this resurfacing scheme running 14 September to 30 October, overnight on the single carriageway and with a contraflow on the dual carriageway. It dropped off the north west maintenance schemes page on 12 September and was still absent on 22 September. There is no council order covering it either. We are not carrying those dates forward. A scheme that vanishes from that page is usually on a break rather than cancelled, so it may well come back with new dates.
  • M6 junctions 35 to 36, to 11 December. The central reservation barrier scheme set out above: lane 3 closed both ways and a 40mph limit throughout.
  • M6 junctions 32 to 33 northbound, 12 September to 29 October. Bridge deck repairs, waterproofing and resurfacing at Whittingham Lane Bridge, with a lane closure throughout and overnight full closures on Thursdays and Saturdays, 11pm to 6am. That is south of Kendal but on the route to Preston and Manchester.
  • M6 Lune Gorge bridges, from 7 September to the end of November. National Highways is working on the undersides of the Tebay and Borrowbeck bridges, removing asbestos-containing materials and sealing others. This is the long Lune Gorge structures programme, whose main works do not start until spring 2027. Public rights of way stay open, apart from a 350-metre stretch of Westmorland and Furness Footpath 367024 on the south side of Tebay, closed to 30 September. Source: the M6 Lune Gorge structures page.

Gone from this page since the last check, all of them now finished on their published durations: the U5013 closures at Coniston, the Whinfell Drive parking restriction in Kendal for the EV charging points, the one-day Valley Drive closure of 16 September, and the five utility closures in the 1 September batch.

Queries on council roadworks go to the Highways Hotline. The current notices give 0300 373 3300 and 0300 373 3306; either should reach highways.

Trains: nothing booked on the Lakes Line, for once. On 22 September, Northern’s engineering and disruption page listed its planned works region by region for September and October and named no work at all on the Windermere branch or through Oxenholme. The Cumbrian item it does carry is the Corkickle to Whitehaven closure on the coast line, which is nowhere near here. Avanti West Coast’s planned engineering page returned a 404 when we checked, so treat this as Northern’s position rather than the whole picture, and check with the operator before you travel.

The flood scheme, and what it closes

The Kendal Flood Risk Management Scheme is the reason for most riverside disruption in the town. It is an Environment Agency project delivered by the contractor VBA, and it exists because Storm Desmond in December 2015 hit 2,276 properties in Kendal, either by flooding them directly or by cutting them off when infrastructure failed.

Phase 1 built 6km of linear flood defences along the Rivers Kent and Mint, using walls, embankments and 14 flood gates, plus a pumping station at Gooseholme where Stock Beck meets the Kent. VolkerStevin, one of the joint venture partners, puts the completed protection at 1,480 homes, 82 community facilities and 1,150 businesses.

For getting about, the practical points are these:

  • All road bridges over the Kent stay open throughout construction, under the traffic management plan agreed with the council. Only one road closure, at Waterside, was planned as a full closure.
  • Riverside footpaths close in sections while work moves along each reach, with signed diversions. If you walk the river into town, check before you set off rather than at the barrier.
  • Berners Close car park has limited availability because of construction work, according to the council’s own car park listing.

The scheme has also added new and improved walking and cycling routes along the river, and restored land at Beezon Fields and Mintsfeet, so some of what looks like disruption is a path that is about to get better.

Key routes, and when they bite

  • M6 junctions 36 and 37 are Kendal’s motorway access. The council’s own flood scheme documents make the point plainly: Kendal’s closeness to the M6 makes the town and the A6 a critical diversion route when the motorway closes northbound or southbound, and the M6 from junction 36 upwards is affected fairly regularly through the winter. A closure on the M6 becomes a Kendal town-centre problem within the hour.
  • A591 to Windermere and Ambleside is the tourist artery. In school holidays and on fine summer weekends it queues, particularly on the approach to Windermere.
  • A590 to the south west is single carriageway for much of its length, which is why National Highways works on it overnight and with convoys rather than closing it.
  • A6 north to Shap is the high route and the first to suffer in snow and ice.
  • A684 east to Sedbergh and A685 to Tebay are the Dales-side roads, both narrow in places. The A685 also carries the diversion for the Paddy Lane closure at Meal Bank.

Parking in Kendal

One change is coming, and it is at the busiest car park in town. From Monday 28 September the council is relining the Westmorland Shopping Centre car park, widening bays from 2.4 metres to 2.6 metres, and to more than 3 metres between some of the structural pillars. The work is done floor by floor, with temporary closures only on the level being worked on, and the council says the total number of spaces will fall. A wider review of parking across Kendal is planned this year. Source: the council’s announcement of 9 September, and our report on the wider bays.

Council car parks in the town are chargeable 8am to 6pm as standard, with Broad Street and Braithwaite Fold running to 8pm. All are open 24 hours. Each has its own Pay by Phone code: Blackhall Road is 9860, Broad Street 9865 and 9879, Brewery Street 9927, Beetham Road 9924, Buxton Place 9928, Berners Close 9866 and Bluebell Lane 805796. The Brewery Arts car park applies overnight charges.

For a comparison point on price, take the small pay and display car park at Abbot Hall on the riverside, run by Cumbria Parking Services. Its tariff is:

  • up to 1 hour: £2.00
  • up to 2 hours: £3.30
  • up to 3 hours: £4.60
  • up to 4 hours: £5.40
  • to the end of the day: £7.50

If you are catching a train, the parking situation is lopsided. Kendal station has four free spaces. Oxenholme has 145 spaces at £12.50 a day, or £5.50 at weekends. Details of both are on our trains to London page.

  • National Highways publishes the M6, A590, A66 and A595 schemes, which the council map does not always carry.
  • The Public Notice Portal carries the statutory temporary traffic regulation orders. This is where the closures above are legally advertised, and it is the only place the diversion routes are published in full.
  • The council’s flood scheme page for riverside works.
