Resurfacing work on stretch of A17 near Holbeach to start next week

Resurfacing work on the A17 at Saracen’s Head gets under way next week.

The work, near Whaplode Manor, starts on Wednesday. It will take place each day between 7pm and 5am and is expected to complete by September 29.

The road will remain open throughout, with temporary traffic lights and a convoy system in place.
Washway Road in Saracen’s Head will be closed for two nights when work is taking place at the junction between Washway Road and the A17. A signed diversion will be in place via Washway Road, Boston Road North, A17 and vice-versa.

Roman Mastakov, project officer at Lincolnshire County Council, said: “This section of the road is deteriorating rapidly and is in need of repair so we’ll reconstruct the road, which should last more than ten years. It’s a busy route so we’ll just work throughout the night and reopen the road during the daytime in order to minimise disruption.”
