Repair work to College Road, East Halton will begin on Monday (27 April), with contractors moving onto site to start the long-awaited rebuild.

The project will see the road fully rebuilt from the ground up, with the embankment repaired and strengthened, a new surface laid, and sections of safety barrier replaced.

When complete, the route will be restored and made safe and reliable for the long term, with the road expected to reopen by July.

This next step follows months of detailed work to finalise the design and deal properly with the badger sett, ensuring the road can be rebuilt safely while meeting environmental requirements.

Cllr Rob Waltham, leader, North Lincolnshire Council, said: “Residents have shown real patience while we’ve worked through the challenges on this scheme, and I want to thank them for that.

“We’re now almost there, with work starting on Monday. Issues like this – including dealing properly with protected wildlife – do take time, but we’ve been determined to get to a point where we can move forward safely and properly.

“We know the impact this has had locally, and every extra day matters. That’s why the focus now is on getting the work done as quickly as possible and reopening the road.”

The scheme is being delivered in partnership with Natural England, ensuring a balanced approach that protects wildlife while enabling essential repairs to go ahead.

Further updates will be shared as work progresses.
