Footways were widened, new pedestrian crossings were built, new street-light columns were installed and a new southbound bus stop on Outer Circle Road at the Carlton Centre was constructed.
Executive Member for Highways and Transport, Councillor Richard Davies, said: “This was a tricky project because not only did it require a large amount of excavation and reconstruction, but the team also encountered several unknown underground cables and service mains during the works.
“However, by adjusting the works programme, they were able to get these diverted without causing much disruption to the scheme.
“In addition to this scheme, we’re also in the process of carrying out works to improve the drainage and carriageway along Bunkers Hill, just down the road from Wolsey Way.
“I want to thank everyone for remaining patient and bearing with us during both projects. When the work at Bunkers Hill is complete, these two schemes will complement each other by hugely improving this very busy area of Lincoln.”

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.
A City of Lincoln Councillor was forced to apologise for disregarding parents and the disabled during a debate on the Central Car Park last night.
Councillors were discussing a Conservative motion calling for a full review of the city centre facility amid a £150,000 spend on repairs to its lifts, alongside multiple complaints about parking machines being down and, recently, queues to exit following Remembrance Day and other events.
