Lincolnshire County Council notice to reroute Viking Way crossing point on the A46, Caistor bypass, to a safer location
Over the past couple of years, LCC have been undertaking improvements to the Viking Way, the long-distance walk that crosses the county
You may have seen the new waymarkers along the route and the new boardwalk at Nettleton Valley.
One of the current projects is to move the crossing point on the A46, Caistor bypass, to a safer location. The attached map shows the current and proposed route across this road.
The new crossing point will give walkers a clearer view of traffic travelling in both directions so making it safer than the current crossing point. From the new crossing point the path will go down a ramp to a new path along the bottom of the highway embankment to rejoin the existing route at the bottom of the existing concrete ramp. The new ramp and path will have a stone surface.
Dates for the work have yet to be confirmed and are dependent on weather. We will let you know when dates have been confirmed.
Unfortunately, we will have to close a section of the Viking Way while the work is being completed but will sign a diversion route , as shown on the attached map.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with LCC using the details below .
