UPDATE: The A17 Sleaford bypass has reopened having been closed by Lincolnshire Police due to a report of a ‘concern for safety’.
Lincolnshire Police were warning motorists to avoid the area as they had to close the A17 at Holdingham while officers and emergency services, including an air ambulance, dealt with the incident.
A force spokesperson said at 12.36pm: “Please be aware, there is a full road closure on the A17 from the Holdingham Roundabout as officers are currently dealing with a report of a concern for safety.
“There will be delays in the area, so please avoid the area if you can.”
Traffic backed up with severe congestion reported by drivers.
However, it is understood that the road reopened at about 1.30pm and traffic was now easing.
