👷‍♂️ Work is now underway to reinforce the embankment at Yarborough Hill in Lincoln.

Over the next three months, we'll be:
✅ Strengthening the slope
💧 Installing 275m of new drainage
🚶 Rebuilding footways
🛣️ Improving long-term safety for everyone using the route

To help keep Yarborough Road open for most of the project, a dedicated haul road is being built from Long Leys Road, allowing materials to be brought in while minimising disruption.

Some temporary traffic management and footway closures will be needed while works take place. Thanks for your patience while we deliver these important improvements. 👍

🚧 Major embankment repairs on Yarborough Hill in Lincoln are due to start from Monday 15 June and will continue for up to three months.

✅ Over 10,000 tonnes of stabilising material
✅ 275m of new drainage
✅ Safer footways and road surfaces
✅ New street lighting, fencing and kerbs
✅ 10 new trees planted in Whittons Park

Traffic management will include temporary traffic signals, narrowed lanes, footway closures and some overnight road closures later in the summer for resurfacing works.
