The second phase of roadworks are underway on Falkland Way, Barton-upon-Humber, including carriageway resurfacing, road marking reinstatement, upgrading of bus stop facilities and a new Toucan crossing pedestrian facility.

The work in Barton is as follows:
- Installation of four bus stops hard standing with pedestrian crossing points – completed in February.
- Installation of new Toucan crossing, north of main Wren Kitchen entrance – completed beginning of March.
- Plane carriageway from new surface to north of Canberra View under multi-phase lights – completed this week.
- 11 to 14 March (nightworks and road closure) – plane and resurface carriageway from new surface to north of Canberra View.
- 17 to 18 March – lining works under lights.
Cllr Tim Mitchell, cabinet member for connectivity, said:
“We are committed to improving, maintaining and keeping our roads safe across North Lincolnshire for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. We are already investing millions of pounds to improve the road network, so it is fantastic that an extra £3m has been announced in the council’s budget to improve roads, paths and prevent flooding.
“Helping residents to stay connected to their friends, family and the places they go for work, school and leisure is a key priority.
“We always aim to keep disruptions to a minimum and will plan works around quieter times such as through the night where possible.”
