The closure is part of the ongoing Pinchbeck Roundabout ‘Levelling Up’ improvement works.
Karen Cassar, assistant director for highways, said: “With our Pinchbeck Roundabout improvements fully underway, we’re nearing the start of our first road closure part of the scheme which will be on the B1180 leg of the roundabout.
“The eight-week closure will allow the project team safe working space to complete utility works at this area of site, as well as building additional entry and exit lanes onto the new roundabout. We’ll also be taking the opportunity to lay new road surfacing and install new signage and street lighting columns here.
“This will no doubt cause some disruption, but the closure is essential for ensuring the safety of both our workforce and road users.
“Some additional closures will be needed later in the scheme, but dates haven’t been confirmed. Once we have details, we will share more information closer to the time.”
