New Lake District bypass close to opening after storms destroyed original road

  • 8 years ago
Footage of a temporary bypass in the Lake District, UK, being tested after the original road collapsed after weeks of storms, with a backdrop of a stunning lake and a rainbow.

The video, filmed yesterday on the A591 road, shows vans driving over two bridges which have been erected by the local authority in Cumbria.

The county council have reportedly installed two new bridges and are re-instating a section of an old forest road which will open to "pedestrians, bikes and shuttle bus service between Grasmere and Keswick next week."
