Night-time scheme will improve popular route.
Richard Davies, executive member for Highways at LCC, said: “These resurfacing works are going to make a very big difference to the road in Louth and this scheme has brought up some challenges to overcome.
“Because of the businesses in the area and the need to lessen the work impact on them, we’ve come up with a nighttime scheme to try and reduce impact.
“We will also be lifting the traffic diversion at the end of each shift where possible. We will also have marshals on-site to help with pedestrian and traffic flow throughout the scheme.
“This work needs to be carried out to prolong the life of the road and to make an improvement for road users in Louth, but we will be doing everything we can to lessen disruption.”
Location of works
The works will be carried out at Riverhead Road, Louth.
Dates and times
The works will begin on Thursday January 9 and have a scheduled end date of Monday January 20. Work times onsite will be from Monday to Friday 22.00 to 06.00, subject to suitable weather.
Traffic management
A road closure is required for the duration of the works with a diversion route in place throughout.
The diversion will be lifted at the end of each shift, where possible. Traffic and pedestrian marshals will be on-site to help with traffic control. A no parking restriction will be in place for the duration of the works.
Diversion route
There are two signed diversion routes for these works:
- Heading from Riverhead Road: west on C532 Eastgate / North on C569 Ramsgate / East on C568 Ramsgate Road.
- Heading from Victoria Road: west on C645 Keddington Road / South on C659 Newbridge/Ramsgate Road / East on C568 Ramsgate Road.
Cllr Davies added: "This will cost around £115,000 to bring this improvement to Louth and the scheme involves a crew replacing the existing road surface, which has reached the end of its lifecycle.
“We will do everything possible to get this work completed as quickly as possible and I would like to thank everyone effected for their patience and understanding whilst we get on with this improvement.”
