A180 overnight closures to continue into January

Overnight road closures on a section of the A180 in North East Lincolnshire are to continue until mid-January, National Highways said.

Repairs and maintenance work have been taking place on the concrete surface of the westbound carriageway since mid-October between the Brocklesby and Barnetby Top interchanges.

The work was originally due to be completed by 28 November with work then starting on the eastbound carriageway.

However, National Highways said extra repairs were needed to be carried out due to the "recent weather conditions".

The agency said the overnight closures were needed while contractors work safely to "prolong the life of this section of the A180 by five years".

According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, a series of weekday overnight closures, between 20:00 and 06:00 GMT, will conclude on 10 December and then start on the eastbound side from 2 January to 14 January.

One lane of the road will remain closed at all times.

National Highways said: “We plan to remove all traffic management over the Christmas embargo period, from 06:00 on 20 December.

"We will then reinstate all traffic management on 2 January, with a lane one closure on the eastbound carriageway.”

All work will be subject to weather conditions, the agency added.
