Karen Cassar, assistant director for Highways at Lincolnshire County Council said: “These works are the second and final phase of the Queens Road footpath scheme. The first phase was completed last year.
“Not only will there be a much improved footpath because of these works, but we’ve also been able to work into the scheme new, improved pedestrian crossing points too.”
Location of works

Dates and times
The works will begin on Wednesday 23 July and have a scheduled end date of Friday 19 September. Work times onsite will be from 07.30 to 17.30, subject to suitable weather.

Karen Cassar added: “These works will cost around £200,000 to deliver and will mean a smoother, upgraded footpath surface to benefit pedestrians.
“This improvement is another part of our ongoing road uplift across the county and because of the nature of the work, we have to put a diversion route using like-for-like roads in place to ensure the safety of road users and the work crew.
“I would like to thank everyone affected for their patience and understanding whilst we deliver this footpath improvement for Queens Road.?
