Works to rebuild the A153, adjacent to the level crossing in Rauceby, will start this summer.
Update: Please note that we will also be carrying out kerbing, footway and drainage improvements on Rauceby Drove as part of the ongoing A153 resurfacing works.
These works will start on Monday 21 August for up to three weeks.
As part of these additional works, which will reduce disruption in the future, a 24/7 road closure will be in place from the A153/Rauceby Drove junction to the Southgate Spinneys/ Rauceby Drove junction. Access for pedestrians and cyclists will be maintained throughout the works.
The diversion route for the closure will be via Main Street / Thorpe Drove / A153, and vice versa.
Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: “This section of A153, including the level crossing, is starting to show signs of deterioration so we’ve taken the decision to rebuild it now before it gets any worse.
“As part of these improvements, we’ll be reconstructing the A153 near Rauceby using nearly 4,500 tonnes of tarmac and other road-building materials.”
