Works to construct the new Cycle Superhighway scheme will start on site in the next few weeks on the dual carriageway between A180 Westgate roundabout to the Lockhill roundabout.
The installation of the new cycleway will take place in two phases and will start on Monday 22 March. Traffic management will begin being put into place from Monday 15 March so that the carriageway is ready for contractor, CR Reynolds, to start work the following week.
This is the first location that works will take place as part of the cycle scheme which was awarded £2.2m of Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership (GLLEP) funding.
The project is worth a total of £2.6m, with £400,000 contributed by the council and private sector, and will see 3.8km of new off-road cycleway constructed to give cyclists a safe and sustainable route across the South Humber Bank to access work and training facilities.
Phase one – A180 eastbound carriageway from Westgate roundabout through to Lock Hill roundabout.
Phase two – A180 westbound carriageway from Lock Hill roundabout to the Westgate roundabout.
North East Lincolnshire Council and ENGIE would like to apologise in advance of these works for any inconvenience caused and thank road users and businesses for their support while we carry out these improvements.
