Bypass to close overnight for maintenance

Part of the A15 Lincoln Eastern Bypass will be closed overnight on Thursday.

Lincolnshire County Council said diversions will be in place, allowing workers to cut grass, remove weeds, clean signs and clear drains.

The bypass will be closed between Wragby Road roundabout and Sleaford Road roundabout from 19:00 BST until 06:00.

Karen Cassar, Lincolnshire County Council's assistant director for highways, said: "These works are vital for keeping the section of road in good working order. I would like to thank everyone effected for their patience and understanding."
