Work costing £250,000 is to be spent on improvements to two Spalding town centre junctions.
Upgraded traffic lights and bus priority measures are among the works set to be carried out on Winfrey Avenue’s junctions with Swan Street and Kings Road.
Work is due to start at the Kings Road junction from January 30 to March 3 and at Swan Street from Monday, March 6 to Friday, April 7.
Winfrey Avenue will be closed for periods at the junctions being worked on with temporary signals also in place.
A spokesman for Lincolnshire County Council, said: “The works, which are costing almost £250,000, will see upgrading of all signal equipment at both sites because the current equipment is becoming obsolete.
“The new signal equipment will be extra low voltage, which will reduce the carbon footprint of the installations due to the extra low power consumption required to operate the sites.
“The junctions will also be able to communicate with each other and will self-adjust their timings whenever needed to ensure best possible traffic flow to the benefit of both road users and pedestrians. Bus priority will also be added to the junctions.
“In addition, there will be minor works undertaken to the pedestrian tactile paving and footways at the Swan Street junction. The crossings at Swan Street will become Puffin (nearside) type once the work has been completed.”
Karen Cassar, assistant director for highways, said: “It’s terrifically positive that we can move forward with these works that will improve traffic flow for Spalding.
“By combining these separate programmes in this way, we will be able to minimise the overall disruption as much as possible.
“Unfortunately, the sheer scope and complexity of what we are doing here means that there will be some unavoidable temporary issues around the works for a while, but our crews will do everything possible to keep this to a minimum.
“In the meantime, I would like to thank everyone affected by the schedule for their patience whilst we upgrade these crossings to be safer and less impactful on the environment for the people of Spalding.”
