Drain and kerbing works to begin in Tumby

Tumby drain and kerbing works diversion route

February 13 sees work to start to help standing water drainage.

A series of work to help alleviate standing water issues is going to happen across February and March.

The B1192 at the Leagate Inn, Tumby is getting drainage and kerbing improvements with the project set to begin at 09:00 on 13 February 2023. The programme is scheduled to last for three weeks, although this could be extended because of unforeseen circumstances.

The first part of the work will mean a necessary road closure. This will happen from February 13th to the 17th. During this time a diversion will be in place along the A153, A155, B1183,B1184, B1192 and vice versa.

Once this phase of the project has been completed, temporary traffic signals will then be put in place for the remaining period of the work. This will include a 30mph speed limit in place to ensure the safety of road users and on-site crew.

Karen Cassar, assistant director for highways, said: “It is great news that we can get these drainage and kerbing works carried out for the residents and businesses in the area. 

“The road closure is unavoidable for this programme of work, but we will do our best to minimise disruption wherever we can whilst the changes are made. 

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone affected by the works for their patience whilst we complete this improvement to the road.”
