A52 Ingoldmells: Works to start on repairing coastal road

Parts of the A52 in the village will be closed during the seven-week project

A busy seaside summer season has prompted a series of repairs to a major Lincolnshire road.

Part of the A52 and surrounding streets in Ingoldmells will see road resurfacing and footpath works.

Temporary traffic lights will used from the end of November and some roads will be shut during the seven-week scheme.

Conservative county councillor Richard Davies said parts of the road had deteriorated "following an incredibly busy summer for the coast".

"This scheme will involve fully resurfacing just under a quarter mile of road here, along with sections of roads that connect to it," he said.

"In fact, over 2,400 tonnes of new material in the carriageway and 360 tonnes of additional materials in the surrounding footways will be used during the seven-week project."

Councillor Richard Davies said the coast had an "incredibly busy summer"
