Works to build new signalised crossing on Mablethorpe’s High Street starting this month - 10/10/2022
Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: “Not only will upgrading to a fully-signalised crossing at this location to make it much safer for students and everyone else on foot, but it will also improve pedestrian links to the school and nearby local businesses.
“While on-site, we’ll be taking the opportunity to fully rebuild a 140m stretch of deteriorating carriageway here and will also be addressing the worn-out bell-mouth at the Rutland Road junction.”
As part of the works, temporary traffic signals will be in place from 7:30am to 7pm, Monday to Friday, starting Monday 17 October for up to four weeks.
Access to the school will be maintained throughout.
Cllr Davies added: “We'll be doing everything we can to keep disruption to a minimum, including maintaining pedestrian access throughout the four-week scheme and keeping the High Street fully open on weekends.
"When finished, the upgraded crossing and rebuilt section of road will make travelling in and around Mablethorpe much safer for everyone using the High Street, including students and parents."
