It’s Friday and that means – Traffic is Once Again Queuing with Delays around Penrith

Just incase you had not checked what day it is. Yes It’s Friday and the roads around Penrith are once again facing gridlock on the M6 and A66.

Traffic on the M6 is stationary back beyond junction 41 down to J40 with traffic on the M6 facing delays of around 20-30 minutes currently.

Traffic is backed up between J40 and Kemplay Roundabout along the A66 and back along the A66 to Stainton.

The A6 through Penrith is also facing delays and tailbacks on Bridgelane heading out into Kemplay roundabout and into the town along Strickland gate with delays of 10-15 minutes currently on the A6.

Allow extra time for your journey in and around Penrith this afternoon.
