More improvements for the High Dyke near Grantham

A major resurfacing project on the B6403 High Dike starts in March, improving road quality and durability. It’s part of a wider £2.5m investment, with more upgrades planned in 2025 and 2026Y

Richard Davies, executive member for Highways at LCC, said: “We are delighted to be able to bring another road investment to the area. These resurfacing works are part of ongoing improvements to the B6403.

“This scheme follows previous work programmes in this part of the county and we have even more to come with another two schemes planned, one for July 2025 and another for summer 2026 which, together, will cost £2.5m to deliver.

“It’s another example of our traffic network improvement work that we are delivering across the county to help road users in Lincolnshire.”

Location of works
The works will be carried out on the B6403 High Dyke, Ancaster / Wilsford from the A153 junction to the junction with Heath Lane.

Dates and times
The works will begin on Tuesday, March 11 and have a scheduled end date of Tuesday, April 8.

There will be no weekend works but there will be two night-shifts as needed during the month-long period.

Work times onsite will be from 07.30 to 17.00. Night shifts will run from 19.00 to 06.00, subject to suitable weather.

Traffic management
A road closure is required for the duration of the works with a diversion route in place throughout.

Diversion route
Using like-for-like roads, the signed diversion route will be; A153 / A15 / A52 / B6403 and vice versa.

Cllr Davies added: “These works will cost around £1m to deliver and involve a crew replacing the existing road surface, which has reached the end of its lifecycle. The new road surface will be free from defects, it’ll be better to drive on plus the lifespan of this stretch will be significantly increased.

“I would like to thank everyone effected for their patience and understanding whilst we are delivering the programme of work for this area around Ancaster, and I hope this latest phase of a large work programme for the area is well received.”
