Safer crossing to protect families and cyclists at Brumby Wood Lane

A busy junction used every day by families, cyclists and commuters is getting a safety upgrade this spring. 

The new crossing will be built at Brumby Wood Lane and Rowland Road roundabout, making it safer and easier to cross on foot or by bike. 

Cllr Rob Waltham, leader, North Lincolnshire Council, said: “This is about making everyday journeys safer and simpler for people. 

“Where we see busy junctions being used by families, cyclists and pedestrians, we act. Improving crossings like this reduces risk, improves confidence and helps people move around their communities safely. It’s a practical investment that delivers real benefits.” 

Work is expected to start in mid-March and will take around three weeks. The money used for crossings like this is specifically set aside for road safety and cannot be spent on potholes or general road repairs that teams are working on every week across North Lincolnshire. 

Cllr Neil Poole, deputy leader and cabinet member for highways, North Lincolnshire Council, said: “We know roadworks can be frustrating. That’s why this job is short, focused and planned to keep disruption down. 

“The result is a safer crossing at a junction where people use it every day.” 

To carry out the work safely, the road will be closed at the crossing while construction is underway, access to nearby businesses will be maintained, and pedestrians will still be able to get through. Diversions will be in place and clearly signposted.
