Diversions planned during village drainage work
Getty ImagesRoads will be closed and diversions put in place while more than four months of drainage work takes place in a Lincolnshire village.
The work will be carried out in six phases from later this month until September in Toynton St Peter, near Spilsby.
Danny Brookes, a member of Lincolnshire County Council's executive, said the current surface water drainage system was "very poor and unmaintainable", and added: "We found out that there is insufficient capacity to suitably deal with long periods of intense rainfall, which leaves the village at risk from surface water flooding."
The work is expected to cost £800,000.
What will be done?
The work will include new gullies, kerbing, surfacing and watercourse cleaning.
Where will the work happen?
The upgrades will be carried out from Fenside Road through to Eastville Road, Chapel Lane and Church Lane.
When will it take place?
The work will begin on Monday, 20 April, and will last for about 19 weeks, with a planned end date of Friday, 4 September.
The council said working hours would be 07:30 BST to 17:00 BST, Monday to Friday. No weekend work is expected.
What about traffic management?
A diversion route for Fenside Road will be in place for about three weeks during the first phase.
A second diversion route will be in place for Eastville Road for about 11 weeks during phases two, three and four.
There will also be traffic lights and narrowed lanes during the work.
