Works to improve the A1104 in Maltby le Marsh will start later this month.
Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: “As part of these essential works, we’ll be rebuilding a mile and a half long stretch of the A1104 which won’t be a small task. In fact, the team will be using over 8,000 tonnes of road building materials to complete the job.
“While on-site, we’ll also be carrying out minor footway reconstruction works and earthworks to lower the verge.
“This project coincides with our improvements to Old Roman Bank between Sandilands and Chapel St Leonards as part of an effort to make people’s coastal journeys smoother and safer.
"Even though the Greater Lincolnshire Combined County Authority isn't established yet, we're already seeing benefits to having a devolution deal with both these projects being paid for by a portion of the capital funding allocated to the county council.”
Cllr Noi Sear, county councillor for Mablethorpe, said: “Some parts of the A1104 in the area are falling apart and need to be fixed, so I’m very happy to see them getting the attention they need.
“It will be very good to see the final product later this year when the project is finished and the road looks as good as new.”
