Road closures expected during water pipes project

Anglian Water said the work should take about seven months

Work will start soon on a scheme to replace water pipes in North Lincolnshire.

Anglian Water said the upgrade to more than 1.5 miles of pipes in Barton-upon-Humber would begin on 8 September and take about seven months to complete.

The work will be done on pipes running from Caistor Road to the Barrow water treatment works.

Parts of Caistor Road are expected to be closed between 8 September and 24 October.

Anglian Water's Georgia Phillips said: "This project will help make sure we can keep taps running and toilets flushing for residents in and around Barton-upon-Humber for years to come."

The company said it was investing £1.5m in the work.
