New Roundabout: Lincoln Road 30 May 2009

I took these photos today. The development is looking better and (notwithstanding the effect of the fine weather) I am still warming to it.

All we need is some traffic calming measures along the Lincoln Road to stop speeding in the 30 mph area. The finishing of the roundabout complex still looks a few weeks away though!

New Mini Completion?

Looks like the end of June!

I spoke with foreman today (19 May) who said the completion date is expected to be the end of June 2009. The size of the roundabout, which I think is a good thing as it will take traffic away from residents on Holdingham Lane west, is as much to do with the large tree in the middle. I am pleased it has been saved.

However delays to continue for another 6 weeks is the bottom line.

New Roundabout! Latest Update: May 15th

Expect delays for maybe another 2 months.

I went to have a look at progress on the mini-roundabout today (Friday 15 May) at going home time around 5.30pm. There were long tailbacks on the Lincoln Road back to Galley Hill: added to that the tailback at the other end went onto the main Holdingham Roundabout.

Some drivers were going through the traffic lights when still red.

The Anglian Water engineer was there (everyone else had gone home) and he reckoned it might be another 2 months or so before it is finished.

Having said that I am somewhat impressed by what I see so far!

Holdingham and Lincoln Road Sleaford: mini-roundabout development

Latest pics on May 6th 2009.

(On May 7th Holdingham Roundabout congestion was mentioned on the evening Radio Lincolnshire news caused by the works on the Lincoln Road). I will get some pics.

The pathway on the first photo extends all the way around and as can be seen in the second photo the traffic down the Lincoln Road will go around the forefront roundabout.

Obviously a slightly more complicated route to get to MacDonalds from Town - if arriving up the Lincoln Road side.

Traffic disruption on the Lincoln Road has been minimal so far. It will probably be more severely interrupted in the next few weeks.
