Galliford Try, one of the UK's leading construction groups, announces that its Highways business has been appointed to build the new £140m Carlisle Southern Link Road (CSLR) which will be delivered by Cumberland Council.

This corridor will facilitate movement of goods and people between the proposed new community at St Cuthbert's Garden Village and West Cumbria.

Working with local authorities to achieve their ambitions is a key part of the ongoing strategy for our Highways business and we look forward to creating this much-needed infrastructure for Carlisle and the wider region."
