Cllr Michael Cheyne, executive member for highways, said: "This is an opportunity for people to come meet the construction team that will be building the North Hykeham Relief Road.
“Not only can people find out more about construction plans and how the road will be built, but there will also be information about road closures and some of the plans the team has for giving back to the community throughout the project.
“We’ll also have several 4D models available at the events, in addition to a display of some of the artefacts archaeologists discovered over recent months, including roman pottery and a Neolithic axe head dating back 5,000 years ago.
“We encourage anyone interested in the project to attend.”
Lincolnshire County Council’s Executive voted unanimously to take the North Hykeham Relief Road project forward during their meeting on Tuesday 6 January (subject to Government sign-off of the final business case), marking a major milestone in delivering the final section of Lincoln’s ring road.
The project will form the final section of Lincoln’s ring road, with a new dual carriageway built linking the A46 Pennells Roundabout to the Lincoln Eastern Bypass.
As part of the scheme, new roundabouts would be built at South Hykeham Road, Brant Road and Grantham Road. A number of bridges would also be constructed, including at Station Road and over the River Witham.
