The bypass will be closed between Wragby Road roundabout and Sleaford Road roundabout from 19:00 BST until 06:00.

Karen Cassar, Lincolnshire County Council's assistant director for highways, said: "These works are vital for keeping the section of road in good working order. I would like to thank everyone effected for their patience and understanding."
