BRIGG ROAD DELAYS: IS YOUR JOURNEY REALLY NECESSARY?

The problem area on the A18 - the Water's Edge housing estate entrance,  just outside Brigg.

If you are out and about anywhere near the A18 in Brigg this morning, please take note.
Traffic (9am) is gridlocked. There are queues from the Monument back beyond the level crossing on the A1084, Bigby Road and Bigby High Road, and well down Wrawby Road.
We think the cause is repair work near the leisure centre.
Before setting off in the car towards the town centre this morning, consider whether it might be quicker to leave the vehicle where it is and walk!

10am: Traffic flows have improved along Barnard Avenue, Wrawby Road and Bigby Road but vehicles heading towards Scawby Brook are still being held up because the A18 has been reduced to only one lane, controlled by temporary traffic lights. This is because Anglian Water is working at the top of the entry road to/from the Waters Edge housing estate. If you are heading west out of town, our advice remains to allow extra time for your journey.

2pm: Work still going on near the junction, footpath still closed but the temporary traffic lights have now been removed, so the A18 has both carriageways operating as normal.

Vehicles stopped at the temporary traffic lights, just over the bridge in Scawby Brook.
