Increasing width of existing footpath to allow a cycleway provision and installation of a new Toucan crossing point over a distance of 1km. This scheme is on an extremely busy main arterial route into / out of Kendal and was completed, achieving the prime objective of minimising road-user inconvenience by allowing two way traffic flows during the majority of the contract. Temporary traffic management had to be carefully planned to prevent gridlock to Kendal town centre.
