A planned weekend closure of a major road has been postponed.

The northbound carriageway of the A1 near Grantham was due to be shut from Friday night until Monday morning.

It would have allowed for upgrade work including new lights, grass verges and drainage as part of the Grantham Southern Bypass.

Lincolnshire County Council has yet to announce a new date for the works, which form part of a £102m relief road project.

Set to open next year, it will run 2.1 miles (3.5km) around the south of the town, linking the A1 to the A52.
