National Highways is delivering a significant £2.7m investment to improve safety and make journeys smoother on the A1 in Lincolnshire.

The package of maintenance and improvements between Foston and Little Ponton will be carried out overnight to keep disruption to a minimum, with work due to start on 11 June and expected to complete by the end of October.

The scheme will see sections of carriageway, slip roads and laybys resurfaced, road markings and studs refreshed, and high friction surfacing installed on the north and southbound carriageways.

Works will also include sections of footway resurfacing, kerb replacements within laybys, renewal of damaged marker posts, and vegetation clearance including the removal of self-seeded trees from parts of the central reservation.

Kyle Morley, National Highways Project Manager, said:
“This investment will make a real difference to the condition of one of the county’s most important roads and, once the work is complete, drivers will benefit from safer and smoother journeys.
“With careful planning we’ve managed to combine two schemes under the same closures which will keep disruption to road users and local communities to a minimum while reducing the number of closures needed in the future.”

Work will take place between 8pm and 6am, Monday to Friday. Full carriageway and slip road closures will be required to carry out the work safely, with fully signed diversions in place throughout. Laybys will also be closed during the works.

National Highways is advising road users to plan ahead and allow extra time for journeys.
