Karen Cassar, Assistant Director for Highways at Lincolnshire County Council, said: “Using the funding we were awarded from central government’s Safer Roads Fund, we’ll be carrying out major improvements to the A1084 starting next month to increase safety along this dangerous stretch of road.
“As part of the project, we’ll be digging up two and a half miles of road and using 15,000 tonnes of tarmac and other materials to fully rebuild it – leading to smoother and safer journeys for drivers.
“We’ll also be upgrading skid resistance; installing rumble strips; building a pedestrian crossing, layby and footway near Caistor Lakes Leisure Park on the A1084 Brigg Road; and implementing new speed limits.”
Lincolnshire County Council, along with North Lincolnshire Council and North East Lincolnshire Council, were awarded £4.6 million in funding from government’s larger Safer Roads Fund programme in 2018 towards improvements to the following sections of road:
A18 between the A16 and the County Boundary (in partnership with North East Lincolnshire)
A1084 between Caistor and Brigg (in partnership with North Lincolnshire)
A631 between Bishop Bridge and Middle Rasen
A631 between Louth and Middle Rasen
