Works to build the new pedestrian crossing ended earlier this week.
Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: “We’re full steam ahead with our ongoing Community Crossings Initiative.
“This new crossing and the one we recently completed in Wyberton are the latest ones to officially open up to pedestrians.
“This initiative is a perfect example of councillors delivering for their local residents, since all of these new crossings will not only increase safety, but also improve the lives of those living in the communities where they’re located by making it easier to get around by foot.”
Cllr Robert Reid, county councillor for Bourne South and Thurlby, said: “Most of the village’s housing and the primary school are on one side of A15, with the public house, church and village hall on the other. This new crossing will better connect those community venues and make it much safer for everyone – including school children – to get back and forth across the road.
“Local people have been calling for this crossing for nearly twenty years so I’m absolutely thrilled to see it finally come to fruition. I know it will be a greatly valued community asset for the village for years to come.”
