A plant machinery crossing will be installed on Washingborough Road as part of the Lincoln Eastern Bypass project, with five days of road closures set for next month.
Galliford Try will install the crossing with works taking place from 6am on Monday, May 21 to 6pm on Friday, May 25 – during which time there will be a full road closure.
The diversion route for the closure will be via B1190 Washingborough Road, B1188 Lincoln Road, Station Road, Branston Road, Sheepwash Lane, Pitts Road, B1190 Washingborough Road and vice versa.
HGVs will be diverted via Nocton and Potterhanworth during this closure.
Executive member for highways, Councillor Richard Davies, said: “When complete, this plant crossing will serve as the designated crossing point for large pieces of construction machinery working on the bypass in this area.”
The Lincoln Eastern Bypass project is part-funded by a £50 million Central Government capital grant.
Part of the upcoming work on Washingborough Road will include excavating the road to lay cable ducts.
It will also involve replacing tarmac at the crossing with a strong concrete protection slab, which will help prevent the road from breaking up when machinery starts driving over it.

Night time two-way signals – Washingborough Road – Saturday, May 12 and Sunday, May 13

Schools and universities in Lincolnshire recognise the potential benefits, but also the concerns, over the use of artificial intelligence.
The results of the government’s first ever Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence in Education’ report were published on Tuesday, November 28. It was open for 10 weeks and closed on August 23 this year, with 567 responses received during that time. Most respondents were “broadly optimistic” about the use of GenAI in education.
Almost two months on from Network Rail stating it had implemented “new cleaning regimes” for its railway bridge on Brayford Wharf East, the same concerns of graffiti, dirt and moss growth are continuing — and we are no clearer on how regularly the bridge is cleaned.
The bridge, which opened in 2019 in a bid to improve public safety on the railway crossing, is regularly used by many commuters and residents in Lincoln, but it has been the topic of a cleanliness discussion for many months now.
