Karen Cassar, assistant director for Highways said: “We are delighted to be able to get the improvements to the B6403 underway.
“This works programme is the latest for the area and follows previous schemes between the A17 and Ancaster village that have already delivered a big improvement for road users on the local road network.
“The scale of the road rebuild is the latest in a long line of uplifts to the county, and this set of recent works are going to be expanded with a further £1.5 million scheme in the B6403 Easton area which is planned for next year.”
Locations of works
The scheme will be carried out on the B6403 High Dike at Ancaster/Wilsford from the A153 junction to the junction with Heath Lane.
Dates and times
The works will begin on Tuesday, August 27 with a planned four-week duration. There are no weekend shifts scheduled, but there will be two nightshifts during the work programme which are happening on Thursday 19th and Friday 20th September.
Work times on site will be from 07.30 to 17.00. Nightshifts will start at 19.00 to 06.00, subject to suitable weather.
Traffic management
A road closure is required for the duration of the works. The signed route using like-for-like roads will be; A153, A15, A52, B6403 and vice versa.
Karen Cassar added: “These works will deliver a very big improvement to the quality of the road that will be very noticeable for those that use it.
“Our traffic management staff will be on site to help with access and local traffic needs where necessary.
“This programme sees us continuing to deliver a better local traffic network and extends the previously improved route from the A17 to A153 Ancaster crossroads.
“To lessen the local impact of the work, all of our contractor’s equipment will be switched off if not being used, to limit noise onsite.
“We will get these improvements in place as quickly as possible and I’d like to thank everyone effected for their understanding and patience as we get this programme delivered.”
