South Fen Road improvement continues.
Richard Fenwick, head of highways asset at LCC, said: “I am delighted that we can deliver this programme which will happen from the allotment car park – from where the first phase of works were completed earlier this year – down to Cherry Holt Road.
“These improvements will be very noticeable for those who travel in the area and will use 950 tonnes of material to not only deliver a much better road surface, but also give many more years of life for the road.”
Location of works
The works will be carried out at South Fen Road, Bourne.
Dates and times
The works will begin on Tuesday, September 3 and have a planned end date of Tuesday, September 10, subject to suitable weather. There will be nighttime working from 20.00 to 06.00 and that will increase to 24-hour working shifts on the weekend of September 7 and 8. Outside of that weekend, works will happen across the night only.
Traffic management
A road closure is required for the duration of the works.
People visiting the nearby tip will not be able to queue on South Fen Road during the weekend of September 7 and 8.
Diversion route
The signed diversion route will be; A151 Cherry Holt Road and Spalding Road to Pode Hole via Twenty and Pinchbeck West C9 The Delph and Counter Drain Drove to Tongue End, C468 South Fen Road and vice versa.
Richard Fenwick added: “We have taken the step possible to cut disruption and are carrying out a part of these works on a 24-hour, round-the-clock schedule to complete this improvement programme as swiftly as we can.
“Combined with the nighttime working, we are doing everything we can to keep traffic disruption down to the absolute minimum on a job of this nature and I would like to thank everyone effected for their patience and understanding while we complete this section of road uplift in Bourne.”
