Major improvements to the A153 east of Grantham planned for late July

Works to rebuild the A153, adjacent to the level crossing in Rauceby, will start this summer.

Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: “This section of A153, including the level crossing, is starting to show signs of deterioration so we’ve taken the decision to rebuild it now before it gets any worse. 

“As part of these improvements, we’ll be reconstructing the A153 near Rauceby using nearly 4,500 tonnes of tarmac and other road-building materials.”

Dates and timeframes

Monday 24 July for up to six weeks

Traffic management

Night-time road closure only from 7pm to 6am (weekday evenings only)

Location of works

A153 Grantham Road, between the Main Street / A153 junction in Wilsford and the A15/A153 Roundabout in Sleaford

Diversion route

Diversion route is A15 / A52 / B6403 / A153, and vice-versa

Cllr Davies added: “We’ll be doing everything we can to keep disruption to a minimum throughout the project, including maintaining access for residents and emergency vehicles as often as possible when it’s safe to do so.

“And also, any wanting to report a pothole or highways fault via FixMyStreet, either online or on the app.”
