Winvic Construction Ltd has started work on the Carholme Road and A46/A57 roundabout scheme in Lincoln, the contractor's fourth project under the Lincolnshire County Council Highways Framework.

The £1.9 million scheme, scheduled from July to November 2025, will deliver civil engineering upgrades to Carholme Road between Nelson Street and the A57 Saxilby Road, as well as improvements to the westbound carriageway of the A46 at Carholme Roundabout and adjoining side roads.

The works include 9,000m² of resurfacing, 800m² of new footway, 350 metres of new drainage with 37 gullies, carriageway realignment, kerb improvements, structural pavement replacement, and new road markings and surface course finishes. Minor kerb maintenance will also be carried out. Traffic management will be in place throughout to ensure safety and minimise disruption.

Rob Cook, Winvic's Managing Director for Civils and Infrastructure, said: "We are proud to be continuing our partnership with Lincolnshire County Council on this vital highways scheme. Carholme Road and the A46/A57 roundabout are key components of Lincoln's Road network, and our experienced teams are committed to delivering these works safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to the local community."

In line with its commitments under the framework, Winvic will support local employment by creating new roles on the project, such as labourers, groundworkers and traffic management operatives. The company will also work with local schools from the new academic year to deliver careers workshops and STEM activities. In addition, Winvic will continue its volunteering and community support in partnership with Lincolnshire County Council.
