Overnight Rail Inspection to Close Duke Street in Askam

An overnight railway inspection is expected to cause a temporary road closure in Askam as engineers carry out checks on railway infrastructure.

Duke Street will be affected during the overnight operation, with the closure intended to provide a safe working area for railway staff and inspection teams.

Residents and motorists in the area are being advised to allow extra time for their journeys and follow any diversion signs and traffic management measures in place.

The work is expected to take place overnight to minimise disruption to local traffic and the wider community.

Duke Street is close to Askam railway station, where rail replacement services use nearby stops when required.

Drivers are encouraged to check local travel information before setting off and to take an alternative route if necessary.
