About the project
A46 Dunholme/Welton drawing
We will construct a new three-armed roundabout at the A46/Lincoln Road junction. We will also reduce the level of the hill along this section of the A46.
Aims and benefits
The project aims and benefits are to:
- improve safety and reduce the number of collisions at this junction
- reduce congestion and increase visibility for all road users
- accommodate future development in the area
Cost and funding
The project is part-funded using £2m from the Department of Transport. The remaining funding will come from a combination of third party contributions and us.
