DIVERSION SIGNS IN BRIGG AS 103-DAY ROAD CLOSURE ABOUT TO START

 

 

A significant and lengthy road closure near Brigg will take effect from today (Monday, March 22), drivers should note.
Diversion signs will be displayed near the town's Monument roundabout and elsewhere, relating to the temporary closure of the A1084 near Kettleby and Bigby between March 22 and July 4 while Lincolnshire County Council undertakes extensive resurfacing work along the well-used and historic route towards Caistor (originally forming part of a turnpike pay-to-use route).
The A1084 will be closed 'AT KETTLEBY' meaning that traffic can still travel from the Monument roundabout along Bigby Road and Bigby High Road in Brigg - this stretch of the A1084 being North Lincolnshire Council's responsibility.
Well-known national company Balfour Beatty will be carrying out the work in Lincolnshire which will mean delays and longer journeys for diverted drivers looking to get between Brigg and Caistor.
Lincolnshire Highways say this project will take 103 days to complete on its section of the A1084 involving Lincolnshire's part of Bigby High Road beyond the local authority boundary, Bigby Hill, Brigg Road in Bigby, and Caistor.
An A1084 road closure will be in place from north of Caistor through to the junction with the B1434 at Kettleby (not far from the railway bridge).
Drivers wishing to travel between Brigg and Caistor over the coming weeks will be diverted at the junction in Kettleby and sent via Howsham, Moortown and then north-east to Caistor.

 

This is explained in a helpful map supplied to us by Lincolnshire County Council. The stretches of road affected by the road closure are marked in BLACK, while the diversionary route is in GREEN.
The Lincolnshire authority has also supplied an alternative, diversionary route to avoid the roadworks, which is from Brigg through Wrawby, Melton Ross, Kirmington and Keelby along the A18 as far as Laceby Crossroads, then down the A46 to Caistor. This is more suitable for heavy vehicles, we suggest.

North Lincolnshire Council is carrying out roadworks on Bigby High Road until April 16 with temporary two-way traffic controls in place.
