Halmer Gate roundabout improvements temporarily postponed - 02/08/2021
The planned improvement works to Halmer Gate roundabout in Spalding have been temporarily postponed.
Karen Cassar, Assistant Director – Highways, said:
"The final costs we've had through from our original contractor for this scheme came in higher than expected. As a result, we've decided to postpone our resurfacing works here to review our options and ensure we get the best value for money.
"We now expect to carry these out early next March, once the cold winter months have passed.
"In the meantime, I want to thank everyone for their patience and understanding."

The diversion route will be via C850 Halmer Gate-Church Street / B1173 Church Gate / A16-A1175 roundabout / A16-B1165 roundabout / C850 Low Road, and vice versa.
Local diversions will be in place for Queens Road and Albert Street.
Access for emergency vehicles and residents within the work extents will be maintained throughout the project.
Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highway, said: "As part of these works, we will be rebuilding sections of the Halmer Gate roundabout near Spalding that are deteriorating and in need of repair.
"We intend to do everything we can to minimise disruption, including carrying the works out in the day to avoid late night noise, and will be doing our very best to maintain access for nearby residents during the works.
"Once complete, these improvements will make travelling through Spalding safer and more comfortable for all road users."
