Horncastle brick culvert is getting extensive rebuild.
Richard Fenwick, Head of Highways Service at LCC said: “The old culvert will be fully removed and replaced with a specialist pipe encased in concrete.
“For this purpose, the road around the culvert will be excavated to its entire width and it will later be reinstated after the new culvert is built.”
Location of works
The works will be carried out at Fulletby Road in Low Toynton, Horncastle.
Dates and times
The works are programmed to take five weeks, subject to suitable weather. They are due to begin on Monday, August 5 and have a scheduled completion date of Friday, September 6. Hours of work on-site will be from 07.30 to 16.00, Monday to Friday
Traffic management
A road closure is required for the duration of the works.
Diversion route
The signed diversion route will be Fulletby Road, Fulletby, Hemingby Lane, Louth Road (A153), Low Toynton Road, Fulletby Road and vice versa.
Richard Fenwick added: “Because of the nature of the job, a full road closure using like-for-like roads will be necessary to ensure the safety of the work crew and road users.
“These works, which will take £50,000 to deliver, will repair the damage caused by last winter’s storms and will ensure that this culvert will be in full working order again.
“I’d like to thank everyone effected by this work for their patience and understanding while we get on with this rebuild.”
