Freeman Road in North Hykeham set for reconstruction next month

Roadworks

Works to improve Freeman Road will start in late October.

Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: “Freeman Road in North Hykeham is in an absolutely dire state, with the road literally crumbling to pieces. Because of that, we’ll be starting work to rebuild it from the ground up starting on 28th October. 

“As part of the works, the team will be using over 2,500 tonnes of tarmac and other road-building materials to reconstruct the 500-metre industrial estate road.

“While on site, we’ll also be carrying out some drainage and kerbing repairs which need to be done.”

Dates and timeframes

Monday 28 October for up to three months (no working over the Christmas period)

Location of works

Entirety of Freeman Road from Station Road to the end

Traffic management

Daytime temporary signals / night-time road closures from 7pm to 6am (including weekends)

Diversion route

No diversion route, but access will be maintained for all businesses and emergency services

Cllr Davies added: “We’ll be doing all we can to keep disruption down to a minimum, including maintaining access for the businesses and emergency services. In the meantime, I want to thank everyone in advance for their patience.”
