FOUR-WEEK ROAD CLOSURE IN THE BRIGG AREA


Notice has been given of extensive roadworks coming up in the Brigg area, involving a full Monday-Friday road closure spread over four weeks. Drivers please note.
Night-time resurfacing works to replace the worn out carriageway on the B1434 Cross Lane, Brigg Road, Station Road and the B1434/Station Road junction will start in North Kelsey on Monday, March 16, Lincolnshire County Council has informed Brigg Blog.
The total programme of works is expected to last four weeks, Monday to Friday, subject to suitable weather.
A full road closure will be in place from 7pm to 6am each weekday.
The signed diversion route will be via the B1434, A1084, A46, B1205 and B1434.
Access for residents within the affected area will be maintained as far as reasonably practicable. Access for emergency vehicles will also be maintained at all times.
Coun Richard Davies said: "As part of these works, we will be resurfacing parts of the B1434 in North Kelsey to replace road surface that is nearing the end of its serviceable life.
"While on-site, we'll also be carrying out some minor drainage works on Brigg Road to avoid more works in the area in the future.
"In light of all the disruption the area has experienced over the past twelve months, we've decided to deliver these works at night so that North Kelsey residents can go about their daily business as usual without further disruption.
"These improvements will make travelling on the B1434 a safer and more comfortable journey, so we ask for your continued patience while these works are carried out."
Brigg Blog was been delayed by other roadworks and flood-related diversions while making car journeys through this part of West Lindsey late last year and in January 2020. So the early notice given by the county council about March's work in North Kelsey is appreciated.
