Lincoln Eastern Bypass

The collapse of Carillion…

Has delayed the opening time. The council say’s it should be able to find a new contractor resonably quickly.

I still can’t fathom out why (aside from short term costs) they have put roundabouts in at all of the junctions. For example the B1188 will meet at a roundabout, Mrs Scoggins on her bi-monthly visit to the Womens Institute coffee morning will bimble across (having the right of way) a major A road causing every man and his dog to stop, look, check, check again, stop for the guy in front who’s not quite sure and then finally get going again.

For crisssakes will road planners for once put in the flyover during the initial construction instead of the usual wait until the traffic queues build up over a number of years, do a survey, put traffic lights in, do another ■■■■■■■ survey and finally after years of jams put a flyover in.

Rant over.

Hi when the plans were made available to the public the very first thing that was said why is it not a dual carraigeway with proper junctions ala the A46 nwk to leicester …? oh its too expensive …not needed etc etc as ANYONE who has been on the western bypass knows dualling is very much needed and having a single carraigeway will just add to any problems that occour and at the very least causes endless delays for very minor problems … its no wonder Lincoln is considered out of the way and behind the times
