Cracks in the road surface and an undulating top layer will be dealt with.
Karen Cassar, assistant director for Highways at LCC said: “Our officers have inspected the area and, following the recent extended period of dry weather, issues with the road have been found.
“A significant lack of water within the sub-soils under the road has seen failures and spaces appearing as everything has hit drought status. What we’ve found is that this has led to some significant cracking and loss of ride quality on this road. Because of that, we’re going to address the worst of these issues under this road closure.”
Location of works
The works will be carried out at A52 Bridge End (West of Donington).
Dates and times
The works will begin on Monday, September 8 with a planned end date of Thursday, September 11. Working hours between 07.30 and 17:00 daily, but due to the nature and depth of the patching there will need to be a 24/7 closure in place for the full four days.
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; A52 West towards Osbournby, A15 North to Sleaford, A17 East and South and then A52 West towards Donington, and vice versa.
Karen Cassar added: “As these are emergency works, we are operating on very short notice periods to get crews on-site and making the necessary repairs. To help the local traffic network, we have already put advanced warning / notification signage around the work site.
“I would like to thank everyone effected for their patience and understanding whilst we are delivering these repairs and bringing the stretch of the A52 back up to full strength.”
