Winvic Construction has announced the early completion of its second project under the Lincolnshire County Council highways framework.

The project, which commenced in April, involved resurfacing and upgrading traffic signals on Newland, spanning from Carholme Road to Mint Street. Additional work was carried out on parts of Wigford Way, Mint Lane, and Lucy Tower Street.

The work was originally scheduled to end in November but, following a sustained push to deliver essential upgrades with minimal disruption and maximum benefits to nearby communities, businesses and road users, was completed by late September.

The General Works Lot contract has been designed to deliver new infrastructure assets and improvements across the County over a four-year period, and has tasked Winvic with improving multiple highway assets, including drainage, footways, kerbs, surfacing, traffic signals and road markings.


Activities at Carholme Road and Lucy Tower Street junction have featured the replacement and upgrade of existing signal equipment, new construction of traffic islands and footways replacements. Newland has also had footpath replacements and new carriageway surfacing.

Further headline statistics from the project include:

The placement of over 4,500 tonnes of road-building materials

Repairing 275 metres of highways drainage and the installation of 30 new traffic signals at the Lucy Tower Street/Newland and Carholme Road/Brayford Way junctions

Over a mile of new footway constructed

1.2km of new kerbing laid

575 feet of traffic signal wires and traffic signal ducting installed

Rob Cook, Winvic's Managing Director for Civils and Infrastructure, commented: "I'd like to thank the Winvic team and Lincolnshire County Council’s team for working so well together to not only meet, but exceed expectations on the Newland Lincoln project, our second under the four-year highways framework contract. We’re delighted to have established new and efficient working practices, including collaborating effectively with a local surfacing sub-contractor, to successfully deliver this project ahead of schedule."
