Works to rebuild a section of the A17 in Fosdyke are set to begin later this month.

Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: “The road surfacing along the A17 in Fosdyke is starting to deteriorate, so we’ll be heading to site next week to start rebuilding it using nearly 9,000 tonnes of tarmac and other road-building materials.

Dates and timeframes

Wednesday 19 July for up to seven weeks

Traffic management

Night-time road closure from 7pm to 6am (weekday evenings only)

Location of works

A17 in Fosdyke, between Washway Road and Waste Green Lane

Diversion route

Via A151 / A16, and vice versa

Cllr Davies added: “We'll be doing everything we can to minimise disruption during these works, including maintaining access for Fosdyke residents within the site extents when the road is closed overnight.

“However, we still expect some delays, so I encourage anyone that uses this route to leave extra time for their journeys.”
