Works to resurface the whole of Rookery Lane in Lincoln will start on Monday 14 February.
Delays due to forecasted high wind speeds - 18/02/2022
Tonight’s works and road closure on Rookery Lane (near the Newark Road / Rookery Lane shops) will not be taking place due to forecasted high wind speeds and the amber weather warning that is in effect.
Any remaining works on this section of Rookery Lane will be carried out on a date to be confirmed in the coming weeks. This is not expected to affect the scheme’s completion date (subject to future weather).
Works to resurface the rest of Rookery Lane will start on Monday 21 February under daytime road closures from 8am to 6pm, Mon-Fri, until late March.
The diversion route will be via the A1434 Newark Road / B1190 Doddington Road / A1192 Tritton Road / Moorland Avenue, and vice versa.

The remaining sections will be carried out under a daytime road closure, 8am to 6pm, until late March.

Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: "The road surface along Rookery Lane is deteriorating, so we're taking the opportunity to completely resurface it.
"This will involve removing the current carriageway and replacing it with 1,700 tonnes of tarmac and stone.
"We'll be doing everything we can to keep disruption to a minimum, including maintaining access for residents throughout the scheme where it’s safe to do so.
"Once finished, these improvements will make travelling through the area much safer and more comfortable for all road users."
