The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
The northern section of the Spalding Western Relief Road is slightly delayed with work now set to be completed by the end of 2023.
When started it was due to be completed by Autumn of that year.
An update to Lincolnshire County Council’s Highways and Transport Committee though has revealed the new date.
It says: “Works commenced in January 2022 with the construction of the two piling platforms to allow the circa 1,600 number piles to be installed to support the bridge over the rail line.
“These piles are now complete with the focus moving to pile caps (currently 650 completed) and construction of the embankment.
“In addition, the new roundabout on Spalding Road in largely completed and open to traffic.
“Works are programmed to be completed by the end of 2023.”
The Voice asked Lincolnshire County Council for any updates on the southern section, which has been fully funded, and the middle sections, funding for which hasn’t been secured.
A county council spokesman confirmed that no date had been set for the start of the most southern section of road.
On the middle sections, the spokesman said: “Because the middle sections of the relief road are intended to be built in the long-term, as outlined in the South East Lincolnshire Local Plan, no funding has been allocated or secured for them at this stage
