Spalding town centre road to close for four weeks

Work to replace traffic lights are to close a Spalding town centre road for a month.

St Thomas’ Road will be shut from February 14 for the work, Lincolnshire County Council has announced.

It’s for the work on the road’s junction with Winsover Road.

Karen Cassar, assistant director of highways, said: “We’re very pleased to be able to take the time and put in the resources to get this improvement for Spalding.

“The current signal equipment is at the end of its life, and we can replace this now with extra low voltage equipment which will help to reduce the cardon footprint.

“Whilst we are refurbishing the equipment, we will also be carrying out work on the duct chambers and ducting on-site where needed.

“We will do everything possible to keep disruption to a minimum and a road closure will need to be in place for the works to be completed. I want to thank everyone effected by these improvement works for their patience whilst we get the new equipment in place.”

Traffic will be diverted from Winsover Road onto Hawthorn Bank. Follow the road to Little London Road, then to London Road (B1172). Traffic will be required to turn onto Magellan Way then onto St Thomas’s Road and vice versa.
