Spreaddie's Out and About

Our hot-weather gritter has finally been out in the hot weather and will be doing more runs today.

Our dedicated gritter, Spreaddie Mercury, has been out in action for reactive sand dusting on Lincolnshire's roads for the first time.

The machine has been out in Louth at the Halfpenny Lane / Horncastle Road junction to sand the road there. The road at this point has seen some damage because of the recent high temperatures and volume of traffic at the junction.

Sanding like this will help the section of road later in the day as temperatures rise again. Spreaddie will return to the depot and remain on-call throughout the day to go and continue dusting sand if needed on the county's roads network.
