Safety barriers to be installed on A180 from next week

National Highways is set to start works along the A180 in North Lincolnshire on Monday 22 November until late March 2022.

The £2 million scheme will see two miles of barriers installed, repaired drainage and upgraded road signage between the Stallingborough Interchange and Pyewipe roundabout.

The eastbound or westbound carriageway of the A180 between this stretch of road will close overnight on weekday evenings from 8 pm to 6 am.

A 40 mph speed limit will be placed 24/7 in both directions to allow work to be carried out safely.

Fully signed diversions will also be in place, with traffic being diverted using the A1173, B1210 and A1136.

National Highways Project Manager Steve Bishop said: “The A180 is a vital route through Lincolnshire and this essential work will improve safety for the thousands of drivers who use this road every day and create smoother journeys in the long run.

“The current barrier is coming towards the end of its life and needs replacing.

“We are working hard to keep disruption to a minimum, but I’d urge drivers to plan their journey in advance when closures are in place. I want to thank drivers for their patience while we carry out this essential safety work.”
