Lincolnshire County Council says its summer programme of road resurfacing is set to start.
It says 177 miles of 251 roads will be worked on in the £5.5m improvements scheduled to take place by mid-August.
Among the roads in South Holland where work will be carried out is Broad Gate between Weston Hills and Cowbit, West Bank at Sutton Bridge, Roman Bank at Holbeach Bank and Marsh Road outside Spalding.
Coun Michael Cheyne, executive member for Highways at LCC, said: “This massive surfacing scheme is a very practical way of getting more life out of a road for less cost when compared to having to rip a road apart and then rebuild it, and it costs around a tenth of what the more conventional methods do.
“It’s less disruptive for road users too. We don’t always need a short-term road closure to get the work done and crews can lay around 50,000 square metres of new surface a day which is the roughly the same as 75 tennis courts.”
A spokesman for the county council said: “Surface dressing is a cost-effective and pre-emptive way to improve the conditions of the roads. It’s also quick to do and will put another ten years’ life on the road.”
This year the county council is launching a website that will provide live updates on road resurfacing in Lincolnshire.
