Getting rid of the old one for a new updated pedestrian pathway.
Karen Cassar, assistant director of Highways at LCC, said: “I am delighted that we are able to bring in this improvement for Stickney.
“The current path is past its best and needs replacing. It has naturally got to the end of its life cycle and we’re investing into this works scheme so that those who use this route can continue to do so safely.”
Location of works
The works will be carried out at Horbling Lane, Stickney between Main Road A16 and East Fen Lane/ Midville Lane
Dates and times
The works will begin on Monday, October 27 and have a scheduled end date of Wednesday, February 18th. Work times onsite will be from 07.30 to 17.30 Monday to Friday, subject to suitable weather. No weekend work is planned.
Traffic management
The majority of the works will be carried out under temporary traffic lights however, the far section of the site narrows up to East Fen Drain and because of the limited working area, this part will need a diversion to be in place for the duration of the scheme. It is anticipated that this part of the works with the diversion route, will last for five weeks with the remainder of the scheme happening under temporary lights.
Diversion route
The signed diversion route will be; Main Road A16, Main Road Toynton All Saints, Eastville Road Toynton St Peter, Fen Road Toynton St Peter, Spilsby Road Eastville, Fodderdyke Bank, Midville Road and vice versa.
Karen Cassar added: “These works will cost around £260,000 to deliver and involve a crew replacing the existing footpath surface, which has reached the end of its lifecycle.
“We will also rebuild crossing points and vehicular access along the route, to make things better for those in the area.
“This improvement is another part of our ongoing footpath uplift across the county and because of the nature of the work on this site – especially where the road narrows up to East Fen Drain, we have to put a diversion route using like-for-like roads in place. This is for the safety of road users and the crew.
“I would like to thank everyone effected for their patience and understanding whilst we are delivering the programme of work for Stickney.”
