Improvements to three A16 roundabouts and nearby roads set for August

Works to replace worn out carriageways on the A16 Spalding roundabout, Cowbit roundabout, B1357 Moulton Chapel Road and Crowland roundabout will start in August.

The £1.2million improvement project will start on Monday, August 23 and last up to eleven weeks. Works will also include the B1040 Thorney Road and A1175 Uffington Road.

Coun Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: "As many will have noticed, sections of these three important A16 roundabouts are wearing out.

"As a result, we'll be rebuilding them starting in late August, along with also reconstructing sections of Moulton Chapel Road.

"By the end of this massive improvement project, over 10,000 hours will have been spent on the works, with over 6,000 tonnes of new tarmac laid.

"These works will inevitably cause some disruption, but we'll be doing everything we can to keep this to a minimum including carrying most of the works out overnight when there are fewer people on the roads.

"We'll also be maintaining access for residents and emergency services throughout the works when and where we can do so safely.

"I want to thank everyone in advance for bearing with us while we carry out these essential repairs to the A16 near Spalding, Cowbit, Crowland and Stamford."
