A section of the M6 has reopened earlier than expected after a new bridge was installed.
The Clifton railway bridge near Penrith has been replaced by Network Rail and Skanska as part of a £60m investment into the West Coast Main Line.
A road closure was put in place between junctions 39 and 40 for the duration of the weekend and the road, which was due to open at 05:00 GMT on Monday, re-opened at 16:00.
Christian Irwin, Network Rail North West and Central director, said it took “hard work” from hundreds of people to install the new structure so quickly.
