Works to improve the road surfacing to Ryhall Road in Stamford will start in September.
Karen Cassar, assistant director for highways, said: “Rebuilding this section of Ryhall Road will be a very big undertaking, with nearly a half-mile of carriageway set to be replaced.
“While on-site, the team will also be upgrading the traffic signals at two pedestrian crossings along Ryhall Road – one near Melbourne Road and one near St George’s Avenue.”
Dates and timeframes
Monday 8 September for up to six weeks
Traffic management
Night-time road closures, from 8pm to 6am (weekday evenings only) for the duration of the project
Daytime temporary traffic signals for the duration of the project
Location of works
Ryhall Road, from the Uffington Road Roundabout to Regency Crescent
The two crossings being rebuilt are located near Melbourne Road and near St George’s Avenue
Diversion route
A6121 / Raymond Mays Way / A15 / A1175, and vice versa
Karen Cassar added: “The diversion route for the night-time closures is roughly 25 miles, so quite long. That is because our highways team can only use like-for-like roads for diversion routes, meaning a closed A-road can only be diverted using other A-roads. Using B or C roads could lead to HGVs passing through local villages late at night, which would be a huge disruption for residents.
“Despite this, the site team will be maintaining access for residents and businesses throughout the works to help keep disruption down.”
