Large biker funeral procession expected to cause congestion on busy Lincolnshire routes

Motorists are being advised to plan ahead and allow extra time for journeys on Friday (November 13) as a large biker club funeral procession passing through parts of Lincolnshire is expected to cause significant traffic disruption.

According to Lincolnshire Police, the procession is expected to travel from Donington at around 11am and pass through several key routes as well as through Sleaford town centre.

The anticipated route will see the procession travel from Donington onto the A52 towards the A17, along the A17 towards Sleaford, through Sleaford via Carre Street, Southgate and Northgate, past Holdingham and back along the A17 and A16 towards Spalding before turning onto the A152 through Surfleet and Gosberton.

A police spokesperson said: “The procession is expected to move slowly and remain together throughout its journey, which may lead to congestion and delays, particularly in and around Sleaford and on the surrounding road network.

“Drivers are encouraged to consider alternative routes where possible and allow additional time for travel.

“We would like to thank motorists for their patience and understanding while the procession takes place,” they said.
