North East Lincolnshire Council and its delivery partner, Equans, are carrying out carriageway resurfacing and civil works on Chichester Road, between Taylor’s Avenue and Hardys Road. Works began on Monday 29 July and will be completed on Friday 30 August.

The works will be carried out in two phases, as detailed below:

Phase one – Civil works (Monday 29 July – Friday 16 August) – The first phase of works will include replacing damaged road gullies, drainage channels, kerbs and the installation of new tactile paving. These works will be carried out under temporary traffic control between 7:30am and 6pm. Phase one is scheduled to be completed on Friday 16 August.

Phase two – Carriageway resurfacing and road markings (Monday 12 August – Friday 30 August) – The second phase of the project will consist of carriageway resurfacing and road marking work, which will start on Monday 12 August and is scheduled for completion on Friday 30 August. To enable the works to be carried out and ensure the safety of contractors, a 24 hour road closure will be in place for the resurfacing.
