Last updated 1st Nov 2021
Improvement works to the A1175 Uffington Road near Stamford will be starting later today (1 November) for up to five evenings.
Night-time road closures will be in place from 8pm to 6am between the A16 layby to just past the Uffington Road junction, as well as near the left-turn lane.
But, diversion routes will be in use:
-A1175 diversion route: via A1175 (Main Road) / A1175-A15-B1524 roundabout / A15 to Bourne Road roundabout / A151 Raymond Mays Way / A6121 / Uffington Road, and vice versa.
-Newstead Lane diversion route: via Uffington Road / A6121 (Ryhall Road) / Belmesthorpe-Newstead Lane / Uffington Road, and vice versa.
Karen Cassar, assistant director for highways, said:
"Since starting in late August, we've fully rebuilt sections of the B1040 Thorney Road and the A16 Crowland and Cowbit roundabouts.
"However, unexpected wet weather over the past couple of months has meant we've had to reschedule the final two phases of this scheme to fit around other essential works on the road network.
"As a result, we'll now be rebuilding a section of Uffington Road in Stamford overnight next week (from 1 November).
"In addition, once a start date for the A16 Spalding Roundabout works has been confirmed with the contractor, we'll share it widely so people can plan their journeys accordingly."
