Works to rebuild sections of the A1111 in Bilsby will start early next month.

Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: “These sections of the A1111 through Bilsby are starting to deteriorate, so we’ve taken the decision to replace them now before they get any worse. 

“As part of these improvements, we’ll be rebuilding these areas using over 1,000 tonnes of tarmac and other road-building materials.

“We’re also taking the opportunity to rebuild a section of footway and the associated drainage here while on site.”
