Upcoming road closures to impact four villages around Peterborough
Motorists who often drive to or from Peterborough’s surrounding villages are being urged to consider alternative routing over the coming weeks.
With the city council set to carry out comprehensive maintenance works at various locations, no fewer than four villages: Helpston, Lolham, Barnack and Ashton, are set to be affected by road closures towards the end of May.
Here are the details:
Helpston
Maxey Road in Helpston is set to close on May 30 to accommodate “proposed works being executed on the above road.”
The maintenance works being carried out will be focused on the railway level crossing so the section of road that will be closed is at Maxey Level Crossing (20 metres either side of it).
It is anticipated that the works will take place overnight only between 10.15pm on May 30 to 8:40am the following morning (May 31). Actual closure dates will be confirmed locally on site.
Drivers looking to divert should use the following routing: B1443 Glinton Road, Helpston Road, A15, Maxey Road, and High Street (and vice versa).
Lolham
King Street at Lolham, near Maxey is set to close overnight on Sunday May 24.
Once again, the maintenance works being carried out will be focused on the railway crossing so the section of road that will be closed is at Lolham Level Crossing (20 metres either side of it).
It is estimated that the works will take place between 12.01am and 8:30am on May 24
