Host of improvement works begin next week.
Karen Cassar, assistant director of Highways at LCC said: “Refreshing all the road markings with new material, and replacing all defective road studs, is part of the ongoing improvement process on the A17.
“As part of this scheme, we will also be making the most of the overnight closures to also undertake gully cleansing and filling potholes.
“We will be ensuring that as much work as possible is done for this singular programme of works, so as to reduce the need for future traffic disruption.”
Location of works
The works will be carried out at the A17, between Holdingham Roundabout and the A52 Bicker Bar Roundabout.
Dates and times
The schedule begins on Sunday, April 28 and will continue until Sunday, May 19. The work will happen on site five days a week between Sunday and Thursday from 20.00 to 06.00, subject to suitable weather conditions. The road will be open throughout Friday and Saturday evenings.
Note: Working hours will change for Thursday, May 2 when crews will be on-site from 22.00 to 06.00. This is due to local elections.
Traffic management
A road closure is required for the times of the works and will be in place overnight for the safety of the works crew and road users. The closures will be lifted at the end of each shift to help traffic flow during the day.
Diversion route
The signed diversion route will be; A15, Holdingham, A52 Bicker Bar and vice versa
For works between Swineshead and Bicker Bar, the diversion route will be via A52 and A1121 Broadsides.
Karen Cassar added: “This is a £200,000 set of improvements to the road that will help road safety and will benefit everyone who used the road. Whilst there will be some inevitable disruption for traffic, we are carrying out these improvement works overnight to keep that a lessened as possible.
“We will endeavour to get all these combined works completed as quickly as we can, and I would especially like to thank anyone effected by this improvement programme for their patience and understanding while we go about completing the job.”
