The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
Drivers are being warned of major roadworks at three South Holland locations due to start later this month.
Work to replace a worn carriageway on the A151 at Dozens Bank in West Pinchbeck is due to resume after being delayed from last year.
It will now start on Monday, July 25, with the whole scheme expected to last up to three weeks, depending on the weather.
A full 24-hour closure of the bank from Crown Hall Farm to Lake Ross Caravan Park will be in place.
The current carriageway will be replaced with 1,600 tonnes of Tarmac and stone as part of the scheme.
The diversion route for the closure will be via A151 to Bourne / A15 to Market Deeping roundabout / A1175 to A1175-A16 Applegreen roundabout / A16 to A16-A151 roundabout / A151 to West Pinchbeck, and vice versa. A local diversion will also be in place for Clay Drove.
There will be night-time closures of Spalding Road followed by a full closure of Enterprise Way in Pinchbeck as part of work for the new Spalding relief road.
The night closures will start on Monday, July 18, from 7pm to 6am and there will be a signed diversion route in place.
“These closures and other traffic management measures will, no doubt, cause some disruption for the travelling public, but we’ll be doing everything we can to keep this to a minimum.
“Enterprise Way businesses concerned about how the closure will affect them are encouraged to contact Eurovia’s (the contractor) public liaison officer,” said Karen Cassar, assistant director for county highways.
A six-week 24/7 closure of Enterprise Way will start on Friday, July 29 and an alternative route via Benner Road will be signposted.
Temporary traffic signals near the new roundabout’s north and south tie-ins will be in place from Monday (July 11) and narrowed lanes on Spalding Road will remain in place until mid September.
Work to replace worn out road on the A17 Washway Road, Fosdyke, will also start later this month.
The project is due to start on Monday, July 25, with work set to last for up to six weeks.
Overnight closures, from 6pm to 6am, weekdays only, will take place at A17 Washway Road, 160 metres north Middle Marsh Road and 260 metres south of Common Road junction. The A17 junctions at Middle Marsh Road and Red Cow Drove will also be closed along with the Common Road and A17 junction to a point 60m south.
