UPDATE: New start date for B1359 Gedney resurfacing - 16/01/2026
Due to recent inclement weather, our Gedney Kingsgate roadworks will now begin on Monday 26 January for up to three weeks (subject to weather).
Karen Cassar, assistant director for highways, said: “After encountering some unexpected underground utility issues while re-building Kingsgate bridge earlier this year, our plans to resurface over a half mile of the B1359 are now back on track.
“Once we’re on site, this won’t be a small task. We’ll be fully excavating half a mile of Kingsgate to its foundations before laying 2,900 tonnes of new road surfacing.”
Cllr Neil Carey, county councillor representing Gedney, said: "We all understand that surprises often happen when it comes to roadworks, which is why I’m glad to see the important works rescheduled and ready to start in the new year.
“Combined with the rebuilt bridge, this new road surfacing will most definitely help futureproof one of the area’s busiest local roads.”

Karen Cassar added: “Like any major roadworks, these works will cause some disruption for people who regularly use Kingsgate. However, I want to assure everyone affected that we’ll be doing everything we can to keep this to a minimum, including maintaining safe access to all properties throughout the resurfacing works and working in the daytime to keep noise low overnight.”
