Works to build the new puffin crossing came to a successful end on Thursday 19 December.
Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: “We’ve hit yet another milestone in our Community Crossings Initiative this week, with the completion of this new pedestrian crossing on Lincoln Road in Skellingthorpe.
"This initiative truly highlights the commitment of local councillors to serve their communities. This, and all the other new crossings we’ve built this year, will greatly boost safety and enhance residents' quality of life – all while making pedestrian travel easier for all."
Cllr Alan Briggs, county councillor for Eagle & Hykeham West, said: “With the new housing development site nearby, it’s imperative that pedestrian and cyclists can cross Lincoln Road to and from the Sustrans route.
“People have been calling for a crossing here for over two years, so I’m happy to see it’s finally happened. Now that the crossing is opened and ready for people to use, it will no doubt be a great value to the local community.”
These projects are part of the ongoing Community Crossing Initiative, which will see over ten pedestrian crossings built throughout the county. The initiative will cost £3.8 million, with £1.5 million earmarked by Executive in 2023 and the remaining coming from a combination of additional county council funding and developer contributions.
