Road closures: almost a dozen for South Kesteven drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around South Kesteven will have 11 National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

But motorists will be able to take some solace in the fact that all of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that three closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• A1, from 8pm August 4 to 6am August 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Little Ponton to Foston, slip road, lay-by and lane closures due to maintenance works, diversion via National Highways and local authority network.

• A1, from 8pm August 8 to 6am August 23, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Great Ponton to Gonerby, carriageway and lane closures for drainage works.

• A52, from 8pm June 26 to 6am September 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 Barrowby, 24/7 Lane closure and speed restriction with traffic signals due to works being undertaken on behalf of Cadent Gas.
