Recent high temperatures and heavy vehicles have damaged the top of the road.
Karen Cassar, assistant director of Highways at Lincolnshire County Council said: “The recent high temperatures caused the top layer of a section of Scothern Lane to soften. Across that period of time there was also excessive heavy vehicle traffic and, as a result, the road surface was damaged.
“Our team needs to replace a section of the top two layers of the road between Church Lane and Holme Drive down to a total depth of 100mm. These works need to be undertaken and delivered as quickly as possible because the road is currently under a closure due to safety concerns.
“Replacement of the road surface will renew this section of the highway network.”
Location of works
The works will be carried out at Scothern Lane, Sudbrooke between Church Lane and Holme Drive.
Dates and times
The works will begin on Tuesday 29 July and have a scheduled end date of Friday 1 August. Work times onsite will be from 07.30 to 17.00, subject to suitable weather.
Traffic management
A road closure is required for the duration of the works with a diversion route in place throughout.
Diversion route
The signed diversion route will be; A46, A15, A158 and vice versa.
Karen Cassar added: “These emergency reactive works will cost around £205,000 to deliver and will see the damaged section of road restored to full working order and open to the public.
“We will do everything possible to get the works completed as quickly as we can. In the meantime, I would like to thank everyone effected for their patience and understanding whilst we get this heat damage repaired and the road back to full working order.”
