Both lanes on Ellis Way in Grimsby to reopen
They'll both reopen from Wednesday 5th October
North East Lincolnshire Council's confirmed both lanes on Ellis Way in Grimsby are reopening from tomorrow, Wednesday 5 October.
The closure of one lane on Ellis Way was introduced as a safety precaution following the fire at the Art College on Eleanor Street.
The changes to the traffic management on Ellis Way will see the lane closure withdrawn and two lanes of traffic will be reinstated to assist in mitigating congestion.
Leading up to the Hainton Square junction on Ellis Way, the left-hand lane will be for left-turning traffic only (traffic heading down Freeman Street) and the right-hand lane will be for straight-on traffic (heading to Eleanor Street) and right-turn for traffic turning right (heading to Hainton Avenue).
Amendments to the existing road markings and traffic management on Ellis Way will be made overnight today, Tuesday 4 October.
The decision to remove traffic management on Ellis Way follows feedback at the council’s listening event that took place at Grimsby’s Central Hall. The council and EQUANS understood that motorists have experienced congestion and have reviewed the traffic management.
The traffic management on Eleanor Street will remain the same and the lane closure remains necessary to ensure public safety.
