Overnight resurfacing works happening in Skegness

Queens Road Skegness working and diversion route

Eight days of works planned to improve the road condition for all.

Queens Road is getting a new surface. LCC works crews will be getting to grips with the route to increase the lifespan of the road. By removing the existing top of the road and rebuilding, then laying a new surface, the route will be greatly improved.

Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: “Our expert team will be working overnight so that traffic disruption in the area is dramatically reduced. 

“To further the decrease the work's impact to the local community, the road closure will also be lifted at the end of each night.

“To resurface this road in a full and proper way will cost around £300,000. When completed Queens Road will be in a much better condition for the people of Skegness.

“Whilst we are doing everything that we can to minimise any disruption for residents and business, there may be still some aspects of our work that impacts on people and those elements can't be avoided. In light of this I’d like to thank anyone affected for their patience whilst these improvement works happen.”
