Winvic Construction has commenced work on improvements to the Marsh Lane roundabout on the A16.

The works aim to reduce congestion on the A16 in addition to improving safety features. Developments include widening the roundabout and approach to two lanes as well as the fitting of 410m of new drainage.

The works also include the creation of a three-quarter mile active travel route in Boston. The footpaths will also be widened and a new cycle lane installed.

The two-lane carriageway will be reduced to one with traffic management on the A16 for up to 10 weeks. Later in the project, temporary traffic signals and a series of night-time road closures will be used.

Commenting on their involvement, Rob Cook, Director of Civils and Infrastructure at Winvic, said: "We have been extremely busy behind the scenes since we were awarded the highways framework contract by Lincolnshire County Council last year, ensuring we were fully prepared in advance of being awarded our first scheme. Nearby communities, businesses and road users will be our priority, as well as keeping people safe. Our continued one-team working with the Council will help to ensure the programme is delivered swiftly and safely with as little disruption as possible."

Reflecting on the project, Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said "As with any major road improvement project, some disruption on local roads is inevitable when work is underway. However, we'll be making all efforts to keep traffic moving and maintain access to all businesses. Once construction starts, the main point-of-contact for residents and businesses for any traffic management updates, access issues or queries will be the project's dedicated Public Liaison Officer, Sophie Ward-Owen.
