Idea for bridge over A16 at McDonald’s roundabout in Spalding part of £20m bid

A bid for £20m of road improvements, that could include a new bridge for pedestrians and cyclists over the A16 McDonald’s roundabout at Spalding, is set to be submitted.

Lincolnshire County Council is submitting the bid to the government’s Levelling Up Fund which will largely centre on what it calls “Boston and the A16 corridor”.

The scheme will include work on the A16/Marsh Lane roundabout improvements and crossings, A16/B1180 roundabout improvements, A16/A151 roundabout improvements including a new cycling and walking bridge, improvements to the A16 including a stretch of dual carriageway and an active travel scheme for Wyberton Low Road south of Boston

Coun Richard Davies, portfolio holder for highways and transport and the county council, said: “Improving these routes opens up further investment opportunities, but also strongly benefits residents in this area. With improved walking and cycling facilities and reduced traffic congestion, the proposed bid complements other local transport and renewal projects underway or planned.

“This includes applications to the Levelling Up Fund from other councils across Greater Lincolnshire, helping our towns thrive.

“As a county council, we may only be able to bid for one project from this particular fund, but our developing countywide transport plan will offer ambitious and forward-thinking travel solutions like this for all of our communities.”
