Resurfacing work on the A17 at Beckingham has been postponed until the New Year due to forecasted cold weather over the next week.
A final overnight closure of this year will be in place from Wednesday, December 6 from 8pm to 6am.
More details on the rescheduled dates will be available early next year.
The works will see worn out bits of carriageway replaced on the stretch of A17 between the county boundary west of the village to the A17 Sleaford Road junction.
Local access to Beckingham village will be maintained throughout the works from Sutton Road to the south and Sleaford Road to the east.
The signed diversion route for the closure will be via the junction of the A17 and A15 at Holdingham roundabout north to the A1434/Newark Road to the A46 back to the A17, and vice versa.
Councillor Richard Davies, responsible for highways at Lincolnshire County Council, said: “As part of these works, we will be resurfacing a section of the A17, which is one of the county’s busiest roads.
“This will involve replacing road surfacing that is nearing the end of its serviceable life.
“We will do everything we can to minimise disruption and ask for your continued patience while these works are carried out.
“We also encourage road users to take note of and use the signed diversion, as this is the most suitable and safest route to follow to get from point A to B during the works.”

Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) has confirmed plans to jet-wash blocked gullies in Leadenham following persistent flooding, which has left residents and businesses in constant fear of property damage during heavy rainfall.
The council intends to jet the A607 outside Leadenham Post Office as an urgent measure to mitigate ongoing flood risks, with a full clean scheduled for January. The announcement comes after a plea from Leadenham Parish Councillor Martyn Everett, who highlighted significant flooding along Sleaford Road.
A senior lecturer recently celebrated the news that East Midlands Railway will increase its train capacity on what he felt was an “overcrowded” service between Lincoln and Leicester.
Amir Badiee lives in Loughborough and for the past seven years has been commuting to his job at the University of Lincoln, but over the last two years he believes the train service has got worse. When he complained back in March he said he didn’t receive any response, but he believes his recent concerns aired in The Lincolnite helped to prompt a positive outcome.
