Refurbishing work to Grantham crossing is happening next week

Improvement works to the pedestrian crossing on St Catherine’s Road (near Dudley Road) will start on Monday, 14 February.

Works are expected to be complete by the end of the month and will see the crossing upgraded with new, energy efficient signal equipment. Three-way temporary lights will be in place during the scheme with a pedestrian phase included.

Karen Cassar, assistant director of highways for LCC, said: “The current signal equipment is reaching the end of its operational life so we’re refurbishing the crossing.

“The new signal equipment will be extra low voltage which will reduce the carbon footprint due to the extra low power consumption.

“The road will remain open with the temporary lights in place throughout the duration of the work.

“We thank everyone for their patience whilst this work is carried out.”
