Branston Causeway rebuild happening next month

Diversion route for the Branston Causeway rebuild

The route near Bardney will see two sections get improvement.

Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: "These works will see our crews resurfacing the road and re-profiling the underpinning material to remove a dip that has formed.  

“The work sees a lot of material dug out to a deep level and then rebuilt. It will mean a large improvement in quality for anyone who travels on this road.”  

Location of works

The works will be carried out on the B1190 Branston Causeway, Bardney.   

Section one will be the area adjacent to Causeway Cottages, section two will be from the junction with Nocton Fen Lane (known locally as Wasps Nest) heading east towards Bardney.

Dates and times

The works will begin on Monday, February 5th and have a planned end date of Tuesday, February 13th, subject to suitable weather. Working hours on site will be from 07.30 to 17.00.  

Traffic management

A full road closure will be in place for the duration of the works for safety reasons.  

Diversion route

The diversion route will be via the B1202, A158, A15, B1188 and vice versa.  

Cllr Davies added: "This will cost around £175,000 to complete and once the improvements are in place, the road will be smoother and devoid of surface issues.  

“We will do our very best to conclude these works as quickly as possible to reduce the amount of disruption to local traffic flow.   

“It’s the nature of these works, and the level that we are digging down to, that means we can’t keep the road open while the work itself is happening.   

“I would like to thank everyone effected for their patience and understanding while we get to work on the Causeway.”
