Major Overhaul Set for Lincoln’s Clasketgate

A comprehensive reconstruction project is about to begin on Clasketgate, a crucial artery in the centre of Lincoln. Lincolnshire County Council is set to start the substantial month-long project at the end of this month in response to significant signs of wear on the road. The proposed work, which involves the excavation of the entire road, will see over 600 tonnes of tarmac laid. As the roadworks are set to start on Tuesday, 27 May, and could last up to five weeks, the council has advised residents and commuters to prepare for potential delays. While admitting that the road’s central location could cause disruption, Karen Cassar, the council’s assistant director for highways, assured that every effort was being made to keep inconvenience to the community at a minimum.
