Rosemary Crescent and Granta Crescent are two of the Grantham roads set for resurfacing as Lincolnshire County Council rolls out its latest £1.4m repair programme.
Between 5 August and 30 September, the council will resurface a number of residential roads and repair damaged concrete sections across the county, with schemes also planned in Skegness, Boston, Spalding, Lincoln and Gainsborough. The aim is to improve driving conditions and reduce the need for more significant maintenance later on.
Cllr David East, Executive Member for Highways at Lincolnshire County Council, said: “People tell us time and again that the condition of local roads matters to them, which is why we’re continuing to invest in improvements like these across the county.
“While many of these type of roads are still structurally sound, resurfacing them now helps prevent further deterioration and means we can avoid more extensive repairs later on.
“I know roadworks can be frustrating, particularly when closures are needed, but these are improvements that will make a real difference to the people who use these roads every day. I’d like to thank residents for their patience while the work is carried out.”
The full list of roads in the programme:
- Grantham: Rosemary Crescent and Granta Crescent
- Skegness: Beresford Avenue, Beresford Crescent, Beresford Close, Beckett Close and Briar Way
- Boston: Somersby Way and Witham Gardens
- Spalding: Knipe Avenue
- Lincoln: Westbrooke Road
- Gainsborough: Newlands
- Snelland: Airfield Lane
Improving the concrete roads is a complicated job, involving replacing the top layer of the carriageway and repairing damaged slabs where needed.
Most work will take place between 7.30am and 5.30pm, Monday to Friday, though work on Westbrooke Road in Lincoln will be carried out overnight between 8pm and 6am.
Road closures and signed diversion routes will be in place while individual schemes are completed, with access for residents and businesses maintained wherever it’s safe and practical to do so.
In some spots, replacement concrete will need time to cure before roads can reopen, so sections may stay fenced off for a short period after work has finished. Residents directly affected will be contacted separately.
Once the schemes are done, road users can expect smoother surfaces, improved skid resistance and less traffic noise.
