Carlisle Southern Link Road - we need your help to name this new bridge!

The Carlisle Southern Link Road will connect Junction 42 of the M6 with the A595 at Newby West. The 8km long 60mph road will include four new roundabouts, three new road bridges, a combined cycleway/footway on the northern side of the road, with four new shared-use overbridges.

On Friday 2 July 2021, pupils from Cummersdale Primary School joined a virtual workshop with Cumbria County Council and Morgan Sindall Infrastructure to shortlist names for the new bridge set to be built over the River Caldew and Cumbrian Coastline Railway.

The new 179-metre-long bridge is one of the key elements of the £144 million Carlisle Southern Link Road project which is due to start on site in Spring 2022.

We would like your help to choose the name of the bridge!
