A18 Thorne Road

The proposed final phase of the A18 Thorne Road improvement scheme began in June and progress has been encouraging. 

The road will be open to the public from tomorrow (Tuesday 23 August).

This final phase, which has included widening and resurfacing the road, has been completed nearly 2 weeks earlier than initially anticipated and will alleviate commuter traffic in the area.

Thankfully, being ahead of schedule also means the school run will be less congested.

Lane closures (not full road closures) in both directions will still remain as the footway requires the final surface course laying.

Once the road has reopened there will be lane closures required on Wheatley Hall Road to complete works to street furniture such as lighting etc.

Thank you for your patience.
