Three-day closure for Grantham road

Work is due to begin on Trent Road, around the junction with Goodliff Road on Saturday (14 September) and is expected to take three days to complete.

The road will be closed throughout the repairs, but to minimise disruption this will be limited to between 9.30am and 3.30pm each day. During the closure, traffic will be diverted via either the A52 Barrowby Road, A52 St Augustin Way and A607 Harlaxton or A607 Harlaxton Road and Swingbridge Road.

Pedestrian access to properties will be maintained throughout, but there may be short-term delays for vehicles.

Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: “It’s vital we get it repaired.

“We’ve schedule the work to take place outside of the weekday rush hour, which should help minimise the disruption.

“That said, there will inevitable be some impact on motorists, so we would ask people to be patient, to leave additional time for their journey and use alternative routes where possible.

“We’re confident that the short-term pain will be outweighed by the long-term benefits of these extensive improvements.”
