A Spalding road is set for over three months of closures as a £800,000 water pipe upgrade is put in place.
At least one part of South Drove will be closed between June 1 and September 6 as a result of the works by Anglian Water.
It will lay new water pipes along its length during the work which will start on Tuesday (May 26).
The road’s southern section between Horseshoe Road and Spalding Common/Littleworth Drove will close from June 1 and August 8.
South Drove’s northern section, from Horseshoe Road to the A151 Bourne Road is scheduled to be closed from August 10 to August 23.
The road will be closed from the northern junction itself from September 1 to September 6.
Also, on July 6 temporary traffic lights will be installed in the vicinity of South Drove’s junction with Littleworth Drove. They’ll be in place for two phases initially until July 26 and then from August 3 and August 9.
Megan Sperryn, customer experience specialist for the project, said: “We’re building for better in our region, with a £348 million investment over the next five years to renew more than 1,100 kilometres of water pipes across the East of England.
“We’re focusing on the pipes that need it most to help reduce leaks and keep water supplies reliable for the future.
“To do our work safely, we’ll need to work on South Drove as it’s the only safe way to complete this upgrade. We’ll use temporary traffic lights where we can, but some sections of the road will need to be closed while we install the new pipe.
“Once our work’s finished, Lincolnshire Highways will carry out resurfacing work on the road. We’d encourage all residents and road users to visit our webpage to view details of all planned roadworks.
“Residents who live within the closure will still be able to access their home. One end of the road will be completely closed, but the other will stay open just enough for you to carefully drive past our work. We thank residents for their patience while we carry out this substantial upgrade.”
