Major stretch of A607 set for rebuild - 11/07/2025
Karen Cassar, assistant director for highways, said: “In early August, we’ll be starting a two and a half month project to rebuild three failing sections of the A607 between Lincoln and Grantham – at Leadenham, Caythorpe and Carlton Scroop.
“The A607 in these areas is filled with cracks and potholes, so a decision has been made to fully rebuild the worst sections using over 8,000 tonnes of road-building materials, including aggregate and hot-rolled asphalt. In total, we’ll be rebuilding over two miles of road.”
While on-site, the highways team will also be carrying out additional works at various locations, including resurfacing footways and replacing kerbs where needed.

Karen Cassar added: “These sorts of roadworks almost always cause some disruption to local people, but our team will do all they can to minimise this. The goal is to complete the whole project as quickly and efficiently as possible, without sacrificing quality, so that local people and commuters feel as little impact as possible.”
