Scothern resurfacing gets go-ahead

The diversion route for the Scothern resurfacing

Nearly half a million being spent on road improvement.

Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for Highways at LCC, said: “These works will cost around £466,000 to complete and, when finished, will mean a big improvement to the area.

“The works themselves will see the current road layers removed and a smoother, safer updated road surface put in place. It will make a very real difference to everyone who uses the road.

“The road will be smoother, more resilient and give better braking performance. It’s a considerable resurfacing scheme and we are delighted to be able to bring this to Scothern before the winter weather hits.”

Location of works

The works will be carried out at Langworth Road, Scothern.

Dates and times

The works will begin on Monday, September 30 and have a scheduled end date of Tuesday, October 22. There will be no weekend working. Monday to Friday work times onsite will be from 07.30 to 17.00, subject to suitable weather. 

Traffic management

A road closure is required for the duration of the works with a diversion route in place throughout. 

Diversion route

The signed diversion route will be; Main Street, Scothern / Sudbrooke Road / Scothern Lane / A158 Wragby Road / Scothern Lane / Langworth / Langworth Road and vice versa.

Cllr Davies added: “The nature of this set of works is such that we simply can’t have the road open as usual for the safety of road users and our crew.

“We have put in a diversion using like-for-like roads to help the local traffic network and we will be doing everything possible to get this scheme completed as quickly as possible.

“I’d like to thank everyone effected by the improvement’s instal for their patience and understanding while we deliver this to Scothern.”
