Resurfacing works for village near Grantham

Clensey Lane is getting reconstruction and a new surface.

Karen Cassar, assistant director for Highways said: “Our works scheme to deliver this improved road surface at Dry Doddington has given us a great opportunity to use around 3,800 square metres of recycled materials.  

“These will be used in the approaches at either end of the bridge. Over the bridge deck will be conventional new surface materials.  

“The works outside the alpaca farm will be done on Monday and Tuesday of the schedule before moving to the junction of Hougham Road.  

“Whilst this is an improvement for the area that contributes to our carbon reduction scheme, it will also deliver a much-improved road to travel along, and we will do everything we can to keep disruption down.  

“There will be no works on the Bank Holiday weekend with the road fully open for the Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday itself.”   

Location of works 

The works will be carried out at Clensey Lane, Dry Doddington. 

Dates and times

The works will begin on Monday, August 19 and have a planned end date of Thursday, August 29, subject to suitable weather. Hours of work on-site will be from 07.00 to 17.00 Monday to Friday. There will be no evening or weekend works. 

Traffic management

A road closure is required for the duration of the works during on-site work hours. The road will open at the end of each shift to be usable to traffic in the evenings and at weekends.  

Diversion route

The signed diversion route will be; Hougham road, Doddington Lane, Main Street, Doddington Lane, Stubton and vice versa. 

Karen Cassar added: “These works will cost £200,000 to deliver and we will lift the necessary diversion at the end of each shift to help keep road traffic disruption to an absolute minimum. 

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone affected by this improvement for their patience and understanding during the work programme.”
