Improvements to Nettleham roundabout unveiled

Plans to improve the Nettleham roundabout on the A46 will be unveiled at a public information event in the village on Monday, July 7.

Improvements include

• adding an extra lane to the roundabout
• building new entrance and exit lanes
• building a brand-new footbridge / cycle bridge over the A15 East leg of the roundabout

The plans for the scheme can be seen at The Old School Hall on Mill Hill (LN2 2PE) between 2pm and 8pm. It has received Government funding in the devolution deal which saw the creation of the Greater Lincolnshire Combined Authority.

Cllr Michael Cheyne, Lincolnshire County Council’s executive member for highways, said: “Since earlier this year, the highways team has been carrying out behind the scenes work – like feasibilities and design – for major improvements to the A46 Nettleham Roundabout. 

“We are now ready to share these plans so have arranged a public information event in Nettleham on July 7 so residents, businesses and anyone else can meet our project team, ask questions and find out more.  

“The project team will have plans and schematics on-hand to look at during the event, along with engineers who can answer any questions people have. We will also have some artist’s illustrations and a video flythrough so people can see what the finished product would look like. 

“We encourage anyone wanting to find out more about the project to stop in and see us on July 7.

“By making the roundabout bigger, traffic would flow much better. Villages north of Lincoln would also be better, and more safely, connected to the city centre thanks to a new foot and cycle bridge over the A46.”

The project’s next step is submission of a planning application for the new bridge while continuing with the project’s design. Work on-site is expected to start in Spring 2026 until Spring 2027.
