Cumberland Council is undertaking construction of Carlisle Southern Link Road.

Carlisle Southern Link Road (CSLR) will connect Junction 42 of the M6 with the A595 and will connect with Carlisle Northern Development route from the A595 to Junction 44 of the M6. The CSLR is an 8km road (60mph) which will include four new roundabouts, five cycle bridges and four road bridges and a cycle path along the northern side along its full length. Two of the bridges will cross Network Rail assets (West Coast Main Line and Cumbrian Coast Line) with one of these bridges also crossing the River Caldew.

The new road will facilitate the development of St Cuthbert’s Garden Village in Carlisle, part of the Government’s Garden Towns programme. St Cuthbert’s Garden Village is planned to include the development of 10,325 new homes, new employment opportunities and community facilities along with the new southern link road. CSLR will relieve congestion in Carlisle, improve strategic east-west connectivity and provide the access and network capacity to enable the successful delivery of St Cuthbert’s Garden Village.

The project is in the process of awarding the main construction contract with the anticipated start date for construction on site in June 2023.
