New crossing for Tattershall High Street set for construction

Tattershall Castle

Works to build a new pedestrian crossing on A153 High Street in Tattershall will start next month.

Cllr Sean Matthews, leader and county councillor for Tattershall Castle, said: “Local people have been calling for a safer road crossing here so I’m pleased to see it’s finally happening.

“Tattershall’s High Street is very busy, with lots of children crossing it to get to the academy, so this designated crossing point near the school will make it much safer for everyone.”

Dates and timeframes

Tuesday 7 April for up to one month

Location of works

High Street in Tattershall, near the existing access to Barnes Wallis Academy

Traffic management

24/7 temporary traffic signals will be in place for the duration of the project. 

A daytime road closure will be in place for the final two days of the project, from 7:30am to 5pm (subject to weather).  

Diversion route

Via B1189 / B1191 / B1192 / Pauls Lane / Wharf Lane / A153, and vice versa.

Cllr Matthews added: “Our highways team is carrying out the first half of the works during the Easter holidays to keep disruption to an absolute minimum, but thank you to everyone for bearing with us while we make this road safer.”
