Lincoln junctions to get £3.4m facelift
This project should improve our travel into Lincoln once work has been completed. In the main, I think the improvements are well designed... but there is one major flaw for the traffic coming up Canwick Hill in my opinion.
The decision to leave a single carriageway in place (just before the left turn to Heighington) will create an unnecessary pinch point when traffic attempts to merge from the dual carriageway. Any slow moving vehicles on this single carriageway (either attempting a left turn to Heighington, or involving slow moving HGVs), will cause bunching and a possible tail back. This somewhat defeats the purpose of the dual carriageway design lower down Canwick Hill which aims to free up the flow of traffic.
