Cllr Keane Duncan, the council’s executive member for highways and transportation, said: I am pleased to confirm that work to repair the A59 at Kex Gill, following the landslip on New Year’s Day, has been completed earlier than anticipated.
I’d like to thank road users and local residents for their patience, and the hard work and commitment of HACS and our own highways team for getting the work completed as safely and as quickly as possible.
This was the 15th closure since 2000 and emphasises the importance of delivering our £68 million scheme to bypass this problem area and avoid disruptive closures happening in future.
Yes another piece of good news follows yesterday’s excellent performance. Unless it’s not Eowyn proof
Don’t forget though there's a storm due tomorrow Friday so don’t hold your breath for yet another detour. 
Eowyn doesn’t get at it. I’ll save and hour and a half on Monday
