Road surfacing works are planned just outside Brigg on the A18 this coming Saturday, June 15 - between Castlethorpe and Forest Pines.
North Lincolnshire Council began
its yearly surface covering programme on roads throughout North Lincolnshire
on Monday (June 10).
The council says it aims to keep disruption to a
minimum and a range of traffic managements will be in place. Only one of the
roads will need to be closed completely. Whilst the programme of works
is taking place, motorists are asked to:
* Ensure vehicles are not
left parked on roads that will be treated
* Avoid deliveries during the
proposed work times
* Keep your speed low on recently treated roads to
avoid loose chippings damaging other vehicles
* Never overtake on newly
treated roads
Coun Nigel Sherwood (Brigg and Wolds), Cabinet member for Highways and
Neighbourhood Services, said: “The council is significantly investing in
North Lincolnshire's road network. Additional funding in excess of £2m has been
made available in this current year and this project is the first to be carried
out."The council needs to carry out this work to help keep North
Lincolnshire’s roads safe. Please be patient while the works take place and take
care on newly treated roads. We aim to keep disruption to a minimum and
apologise in advance for any inconvenience the works might cause.”

Surface
dressing is used to seal the road to prevent water getting into the foundations.
It also restores skid resistance, which increases the safety of the road and
enhances the road appearance. Once this process is completed, traffic
can be allowed to run on the surface almost immediately, which means that there
are no lengthy closures or disruption.
