People can now use the new Washingborough Road roundabout – the last of four new Lincoln Eastern Bypass roundabouts to be built.
Karen Cassar, Assistant Director – Highways, said: "People in and around Lincoln will be very happy to know that Washingborough Road is now back open and our final new Lincoln Eastern Bypass roundabout is complete.
"Over the past seven months, the team has worked hard to get this new roundabout built. Not only did we lower the road by about 1.5m, but the team also installed new drainage, street lighting and kerbs – in addition to building the roundabout itself.
"The focus now is on getting the new River Witham viaduct and the scheme's other major structures complete ahead of opening the new bypass by the end of this year."
The Lincoln Eastern Bypass project is part-funded by a £50m Central Government capital grant and aims to minimise traffic congestion, support Lincoln’s growth as a principal urban centre, and enhance the inter-city environment.
