A69 Road

After crossing the border into Cumbria, the A69 by-passes the town of Brampton , before coming to a Roundabout junction with the A689 Road . The A69 turns left here, and travels through the village of Warwick Bridge, which is planned to be by-passed in the future. Following a short piece of Dual Carriageway , the A69 comes to Junction 43 of the M6 Motorway , which skirts the eastern edge of Carlisle .
The A69 into Carlisle has the name Warwick Road, and is known to be one of the most congested roads in the county. At Saint Aidan's Church , the A69 turns right up Victoria Place, and meets the A6 Road at a busy traffic-light controlled crossroads, where it terminates.

STANDARD OF ROUTE

The A69 is a major route linking the north-east and north-west of England, and as such has primary status throughout. For about twenty miles (30 km) between its start near Newcastle, and the Hexham by-pass, the A69 is dual carriageway standard, and is largely Grade Separated . The rest of the route, apart from a small dualled section near M6 Junction 43, is of single carriageway standard, and may be upgraded in certain sections in the near future. At Haydon Bridge, a new by-pass is planned to be built of dual carriageway standard, to direct cars away from the narrow main street, and to allow easier flow of traffic.
