Summary

Ten Lincolnshire roads risk rapid deterioration without repairs.
Urgent £12m funding is sought for critical road maintenance.
Repairs aim to ensure roads last another 20 years.

Lincolnshire County Council has identified ten roads within the county that are in danger of rapid deterioration. Without timely intervention, these routes risk reaching a critical "tipping point," leading to accelerated degradation and increased repair costs.

The authority is seeking an estimated £12 million to undertake necessary repairs. A report highlights that short-term fixes would prove less cost-effective in the long run. The council's highways committee is scheduled to discuss allocating funds from the 2026/27 budget next week.

The planned repairs, which vary by location, aim to ensure the roads can last for the next two decades. Specific routes mentioned include the A15 at Folkingham, the A17 Wigtoft Bypass, and the A153 at Anwick, along with roads in Lincoln, Grantham, and surrounding areas.
