The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
There’s to be overnight closures for three South Holland roundabouts on the A16 during June.
Lincolnshire County Council says it’s finishing work at the junction with the A151 in Spalding started last year as well as fixing work previously carried out on the roundabouts at Cowbit and Crowland which Coun Richard Davies says ‘don’t meet the stringent quality requirements we specified’.
The A151/A16 junction is to be closed from 7pm to 6am, Monday June 13 to Thursday June 23, Cowbit roundabout closed from 7pm to 6am on Friday, Monday and Tuesday June 24, 27 and 28 and Crowland Roundabout at the same times on Wednesday and Thursday June 29 and 30.
Full details of the closures and the diversions are below.
Coun Davies, executive member for highways, said: “Last year, we repaired several sections of the A16 that were wearing out. However, we had to cut our works at Spalding Roundabout short due to cold, wet weather.
“As a result, the team will be coming back next month to finish the job.
“We’ve also found that some of the new road surfacing and kerbs at the Cowbit and Crowland roundabouts don’t meet the stringent quality requirements we specified in our designs, so our contractor will be fixing these sections as part of our contract with them.
“These works will no doubt cause some disruption, but we’ll be doing everything we can to keep this to a minimum including carrying most of the works out overnight when there are fewer people on the roads.
“I want to thank everyone in advance for bearing with us while we carry out these essential repairs to the A16 near Spalding, Cowbit and Crowland.”
