The road will be closed from 5pm on 6th August until 5am on 7th August. During this time, drivers may need to use alternative routes to reach their destinations, and we recommend checking traffic apps such as Waze or Google Maps for the most up-to-date information before setting out.

Motorists are also advised to allow extra time to reach their destinations, as journey times may be affected by the road closure. Those who rely on Church Street for their daily commute or other essential journeys should consider alternative modes of transport, such as public transport, or try to avoid the area altogether during the closure period.

Lincolnshire County Council is working to complete the roadworks as quickly and safely as possible, and we appreciate drivers' patience and understanding during this time. The council has a range of services in place to help manage traffic flows and minimize disruption, including traffic management teams and temporary traffic lights. However, drivers should still be prepared for delays and plan their journeys accordingly.
