A607 Carlton Scroop Heath improvements / wet weather - 23/10/2020

Due to recent wet weather, the road reconstruction works to the A607 Carlton Scroop Heath are now expected to be complete on the morning of Saturday 31 October (subject to suitable weather). 

As a result, night-time road closures will remain in place between Normanton on Cliff and Hough Lane from 7pm to 6am throughout w/c 26 October.

The diversion route will be via the A607 to Leadenham / C308 to Leadenham by-pass / A17 to Holdingham roundabout / A15 to Quarrington roundabout / A153 to Honington / A607 to Carlton Scroop, and vice versa.


Start date for A607 Carlton Scroop Heath works changed to Monday 28 September - 24/08/2020

The works are now expected to take four weeks instead of five, subject to suitable weather. The completion date remains unchanged.

Karen Cassar, Assistant Director - Highways, said: "Over the past few weeks, we've worked closely with the scheme's contractor to identify a shorter, more efficient programme.

"As a result, we now expect this project to be complete in four weeks instead of five.

"This will hopefully come as good news to those that use the A607 at Carlton Scroop since it means the night-time road closures will be in place for a week less than we originally anticipated."

Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: "As part of these works, we'll be resurfacing a stretch of the A607 near Carlton Scroop to replace road surface that's nearing the end of its serviceable life.

"We'll be doing everything we can to minimise disruption throughout the five-week project, including maintaining access for residents and emergency services throughout the works.

"I want to thank everyone in advance for their patience during the works. The A607 is an important road, and these improvements will ensure remains safe and continues to operate smoothly for years to come."
