Resurfacing works to be carried out on A158 Lincoln Road, Edlington

Lincolnshire County Council has confirmed that the work on the A158 Lincoln Road, at Edlington, near Horncastle, will start on Monday, May 11.

It is expected to last until Thursday, May 22.

A programme of closures and diversions will be in place while the work is carried out.

In a letter sent to Horncastle Town Council, the County Council apologised for the short notice.

The letter adds: “These works have been brought forward in our program to enable us to complete the carriageway repairs during the Covid-19 pandemic where there are greatly reduced numbers of traffic movement on the network following the government restrictions and lockdown, thus reducing the disruption of traffic flows as much as possible.”

All signage for the road closure and diversion route is to be pre-set prior to the start date of May 11.

A full road closure and diversion route will be installed by 7am on May 11.
