The project will see a new section of foot/cycleway built and a current section reconstructed.
Karen Cassar, assistant director for highways, said: “Starting next month, we’ll be improving the pedestrian and cycle link on Hawthorn Road between the Lincoln Eastern Bypass and Little Cherry.
“Not only will we be rebuilding the failing section of footway between Cherry Paddocks and Hawthorn Avenue, but we’re also building a completely new nearly half-mile section of foot/cycleway between Lincoln Eastern Bypass and Cherry Paddocks.
“And, as part of the works, we’ll also be upsizing the old culvert here to help with removing standing water in the area.”
Dates and timeframes
Monday 22 July for up to six weeks
Location of works
Southern side: Hawthorn Road, between the Lincoln Eastern Bypass and Cherry Paddocks
Northern side: Hawthorn Road, opposite Cherry Paddocks and Hawthorn Avenue
Traffic management
24/7 road closure on Hawthorn Road
Diversion route
Via Kennel Lane / A158 / Lincoln Eastern Bypass, and vice versa
Karen Cassar added: “To safely carry out this work, we’ll need to fully close Hawthorn Road for six weeks. This will no doubt be disruptive, but we’ve planned these works for during the summer holidays to help minimise the impacts of the closure and will be doing everything we can to get the project finished as quickly and efficiently as possible.
“In the meantime, we encourage people to leave extra time for the journeys once the project starts on Monday 22 July.”
