ROAD CLOSURES

A chunk of one of Brigg’s busiest roads is to be closed over the weekend. You have been warned!
All the proper legal channels have been gone through to close a section of Grammar School Road tomorrow and Sunday (Feb 16/17).
The Temporary Prohibition of Traffic Order allows for the road to be closed from 6am to 6pm, both days, between its junctions with Glebe Road and Redcombe Lane.
The closure is to allow high voltage cables to be installed.
The alternative route is via Redcombe Lane (watch the speed humps!), Ash Grove and Barnard Avenue.
Following on from that, Redcombe Lane will be closed between 7am and 6pm for one week from February 18 and for two weeks from March 22 - for the same reason.
Obviously it’s essential work which has to be done, but traffic congestion along this stretch of Grammar School Road can be severe at times, as we all know.
It pays to read the small print in North Lincolnshire Council's public notices in the Scunthorpe Telegraph to spot things like this, or keep your eye on page two of our paper (below the weather panel) where a list of road closures for the area appears daily. Yellow signs have also been put up on Grammar School Road, warning of the impending closure.
