Improvements to the A16/B1180 roundabout in Spalding are more than 50% complete.
Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: "We’ve officially passed the halfway point of our Pinchbeck Roundabout improvements.
"The team has spent over 14,000 hours working on the project since starting this spring, including widening the A16 to the northeast and southeast and completing the B1180 quadrant of the roundabout. In addition to that, we’ve also laid just under a quarter mile each of new kerbing and drainage so far.”
Below are some additional facts and figures about the project to date:
- Nearly half a mile of new underground street lighting ducts installed
- Over 25,000 tonnes of road building material used
Cllr Davies added: "The team has been working incredibly hard over the past five months, and we’re still on track for having this very important scheme wrapped up next spring.
“In the meantime, narrowed lanes are in place on the roundabout until the end of the works with a series of night-time closures planned for early next year so final surfacing can be laid. Details for these are still being finalised, but we will share more details closer to the time including dates, times and diversions.”
The project is being funded by a portion of the £20m in ‘Levelling Up’ funding awarded to the county council in October 2021. The remaining funding is being used across four other projects, including improvements to Spalding’s A16/A151 Springfield Roundabout, the A16 Marsh Lane Roundabout, and footway/cycleway improvements in Boston and Spalding.
