Major Grantham road to close for three months

Network Rail Is to close Springfield Road bridge to carry out repairs and improvements as party of  a programme costing £2.7million in Grantham.

The strengthening work to carry the East Coast Main Line spanning Barrowby Road, was completed at the beginning of this month, after a 123 week closure.

Now it’s the turn of Springfield Road which will close to all traffic from 7am on Monday week (4^th January)

It includes repairs to the steel and brickwork, re-waterproofing, and re-painting sections of them to make sure they are fit for the future.

It is due to reopen on at 5pm on Monday, March 29th

A Network Rail spokesman said: “This will help reduce the amount of disruption to people and businesses in Grantham, which I know is especially important as we look to reopen the economy following the restrictions which have been in place during the Covid-19 pandemic.”
