Lincoln overnight road closures announced
Since April, work has been taking place to improve the eastern access to Tritton Road, for new housing development Charterholme.
City of Lincoln Council said contractors would be installing new traffic lights at the junction of Tritton Road with Dixon Street.
The junction will be closed between 20:00 BST and 06:00 from 4 to 15 August, it said.
Temporary traffic lights and a diversion will be in place during the work, the council said.
Maria Clayton, of City of Lincoln Council, said: "This is a key stage in delivering improved access to the Charterholme site and upgrading vital infrastructure along Tritton Road.
"We understand road closures can be inconvenient, which is why our contractor is carrying out this work overnight to minimise disruption on the road network. We appreciate the public's patience and cooperation as we work to complete these essential improvements."
As part of the project, a new road bridge is being built over the railway line.

Shoppers hit as city centre car park shuts suddenly
A busy city centre car park was temporarily closed this morning following an 'obstruction'. The 2,000-space St David's car park in Cardiff is one of the largest and most popular car parks in the city and is always busy at weekends. The temporary closure threatened to cause disruption with the already busy weekend traffic. The centre however reassured shoppers that the smaller John Lewis car park remained open as usual for customers while the neighbouring car park was closed. St David's has since confirmed the car park has reopened. On X, the shopping centre wrote this morning: "Please note that our main car park is temporarily closed due to an obstruction. We are working to resolve this and will update you here when it reopens. The John Lewis car park remains open."

Speed sign clocks car doing 69mph through village within month of being up
Parish councillors at Mawnan Smith's monthly meeting at the Memorial Hall were visibly shocked when it was revealed a vehicle had sped through the village at 69 miles per hour. The parish council clerk, Melissa Mercer, told the meeting that the details of the irresponsible actions of the driver were provided by the newly-installed speed indicator device. The device had only been set up on Sampy's Hill in mid June and this was the first set of figures from the data actually charting the speed of incoming and outgoing traffic. For a village with a 20-mile per hour speed restriction – there is a second device in place at Shute Hill in the vicinity of the school – the analysis did not make for comfortable reading. Although much of the detail has still to be analysed, Mrs Mercer revealed that the number of vehicles recorded as travelling at below 20 miles per hour was less than 30 per cent, and those travelling at more than 40 miles per hour was around eight per cent. Maureen Bate, who heads the Mawnan Speedwatch Group, said they carry out speed checks on Shute Hill: 'The scheme has been in place for around a couple of years now, but generally when the group meets it spends just an hour monitoring the speed of vehicles passing through the village. 'During the last 12-month period that ended on July 2, we found that 272 vehicles exceeded the speed limit, which is quite alarming. 'We are only a small group so if there is anybody out there who would like to join us then please get in touch.' The council has been pressing for a pavement to be placed in the village from Lowenna Fields on Sampy's Hill all the way down into the centre of the village and these figures should ensure that something needs to be done to help prevent a tragedy in the future. At present pupils attending the village school have to walk down the busy main road from Lowenna Fields until they reach the pavement near the village shop. Mrs Mercer said: 'There is a clear need for a pavement from Lowenna Fields down into the centre of the village with the pavement lowered for vehicles to access the road when leaving and entering their properties. 'The community would like a crossing at the top and bottom of Sampy's Hill so they can safely access the pavement not just from Lowenna Fields and the houses on Sampy's Hill, but also from Carlidnack Road.' There is a vast increase in holiday traffic through the village during the summer with Glendurgan Garden, Trebah Garden, Durgan, Helford Passage and several beaches always popular destinations. The speed indicator device will remain in place for some time yet with traffic being monitored throughout the holiday period and, of course, details being assessed against traffic when the school is closed for the summer holiday.
