Work to install a new pedestrian crossing in Holbeach is to start next month.
A puffin crossing is being put in on Spalding Road outside William Stukeley Primary School.
Work will begin on August 19 with temporary traffic lights being put in place and a four night road closure in place at the start of September.
Coun Richard Davies, Lincolnshire County Council’s executive member for highways, said: “Our Community Crossing Initiative, which will see twelve new pedestrian crossings built throughout the county, is full steam ahead. And one of the next crossings to be built will be on Spalding Road in Holbeach.
“The five-week project will see six new traffic signal heads installed, along with new tactile paving and new road surfacing laid.
“These works will no doubt cause some minor disruption, but our team will do all they can to get the new crossing built as quickly and efficiently as possible.”
Coun Tracey Carter, county councillor for Holbeach, said: “I’m really happy to see this much-needed scheme coming to fruition. Parents have been calling for this crossing to be built for years following a number of near misses nearby.
“When built, it will definitely increase safety for schoolchildren, parents and others on this busy road where the school is somewhat hidden, leading to some people drive faster than they should near a school.”
