Five Gates Lane is getting crucial road works

Structural patching works on the road in Belton will improve the route for road users

The essential works are being carried out to improve the structure of the road, improve the safety of road users along the route and give a better ride quality.

Works will begin on Wednesday May 11 and are scheduled to be completed by Friday May 20. Crews will be working from Monday to Friday from 07.30 until 17.30. Road closure and diversion routes will be installed and maintained 24-hours-a-day for the weekday-duration of the work.

The road will reopen for the weekend with restrictions due to be lifted at 18.30 on Friday May 13 and reinstated at 06.00 on Monday May 16. After this period, the road closure and diversion route will remain in place until the work is complete.

Where possible for the duration of the work, we will try to maintain access to the Londonthorpe Wood car park. It’s worth noting, however, that there may be some periods when the on-site crew are working on the road that runs between the car park entrance and the junction with the B6403 High Dyke. When this occurs, access to the car park will not be possible.

Karen Cassar, assistant director of highways for Lincolnshire County Council said: “We are undertaking the work on this road to ensure that the safety and quality that the residents and visitors expect when driving and cycling on the route are maintained.

“With the weekend-long suspension of the road closure and diversion route, we are trying very hard to keep disruption as minimised as possible.

“We would like to thank everybody for their understanding and patience as we carry out these works on Five Gates Lane.”
