By Cleethorpes works coming to an end
Eighteen months of major improvement works on some of Cleethorpes‘ busiest streets will come to an end this month when the project reaches its final stage.
Work to reshape the highways and pathways along Alexandra Road will take place later in July, with overnight road closures for complete resurfacing.
With just some re-paving left to do under the balconies on the retail side of the road, left until the future of the Victorian structures is decided, this final stage marks the end of improvement works along High Street, Alexandra Road and Sea View Street.
Over the last year and a half, grant funding won and investment made by North East Lincolnshire Council and delivered by its regeneration partner ENGIE has seen the major programme of re-paving, landscaping, seating and highway remodelling.
This is now reaching its final stage with the five-night closure of Alexandra Road for the resurfacing. It will be closed to all traffic from the Sea Road/Market Street roundabout to Knoll Street between the hours of 7pm and 5am from the evening of Monday, July 20 until the morning of Saturday, July 25.
A marked diversion route will direct traffic along Queen’s Parade, Trinity Road, Beacon Avenue, Clee Road, Issacs Hill and back up to the High Street. There will be no access for any traffic during these hours, nor will there be any on-street parking.
North East Lincolnshire Council’s Regeneration lead, Councillor John Fenty said: “I would like to take this opportunity, once again, to thank everyone for their patience and understanding.
“We do appreciate that it has not been easy at times, as it never is when such works are taking place over a lengthy period. Recently too, we know how many businesses have been significantly affected by the COVID-19 restrictions.
“We hope that their lifting and the completion of these works, allow Cleethorpes to have a good summer season. I think we would all agree that this work has made a significant difference to the look and feel of the resort.”
