Market Deeping’s Millfield culvert is being replaced.
Karen Cassar, assistant director for Highways at LCC said: “Our team has identified the need for work to be carried out in Market Deeping due to the current poor condition of the existing brick arch at the Millfield Road culvert.
“We will need to remove the current arch, and then replace it with a new pipe culvert. It’s not a small job, but it does protect this area of drainage from being affected by what would be a system failure further down the line, if we do nothing.”
Location of works
The works will be carried out at Millfield Road, Market Deeping.
Dates and times
The works are planned to start at site on Monday, November 4 with an expected time for completion three weeks later. The works are expected to be completed by Friday, November 22, subject to suitable weather.
Onsite work times will be 07:30 to 16:00 generally, unless there are unforeseen issues that require changes in working times. The works are currently programmed for Monday to Friday, with no weekend works planned.
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 using like-for-like roads will be; Millfield Road, B1525 Stamford Road, B1524 Church Street, B1524 Halfleet, Towngate West, Millfield Road and vice versa.
Karen Cassar added: “This set of works will cost around £40,000 to complete, and we will do everything that we can to keep disruption to a minimum.
“With the inherent complexity of removing and replacing a working culvert, we have to put in a diversion using like-for-like roads so that road users, and our expert team, are safe. Of course, access for residents and services throughout the scheme will be maintained.
“The programme’s timeframe that we are working to is based on the ideal weather conditions for this sort of work. We shall be doing our absolute best to complete the project within this schedule, and I’d like to thank everyone effected for their patience while we deliver this vital improvement for drainage in the area.“
