Barton Street is getting a smoother, better, improved road.
Karen Cassar, assistant director for highways said: “It’s great news that our long-planned resurfacing works on the A18 Barton Street at Riby can go ahead.
“This is a lot of work to undertake, and it will cost in excess of £500,000 to deliver but, when completed, it will make a very big difference for everyone who uses the route.”

Traffic management
Road closures and a diversion route will be in place during the dates stated above and will remain in place during working hours. Residential/Business access/egress will be given.
Outside planned working hours, the A18 Barton Street, Riby will be re-opened to through traffic where possible to minimise the disruption on the local network.
Diversion route
The signed diversion route will be; A1173 to A46 Grimsby Road, Caistor Road, Grimsby Road roundabout and vice versa.
Karen Cassar added: “We have found a way to limit the amount of time a full road closure is in place and are able to only have the full restriction active across the weekend starting on Friday, June 14.
“For the rest of the works, at the end of each shift where possible, we will lift our equipment as part of our overall commitment to keep traffic flow disruption to as minimal as possible.
“The improvement to the road surface will be very obvious and these works will give the road itself many more years of life, too.
“We will get the programme of work completed as quickly as possible and I would like to thank everyone effected by these works for their patience and understanding during these improvement works.”
