Works to refresh the junction’s signals and lay new road surfacing will start on Monday 22 July.
Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: “As part of this year’s programme of major road repair works, we’ll be heading to the A1137 Norfolk Street / Tawney Street junction to refresh the traffic signals and rebuild the carriageway.
“This important Boston junction will take a month and a half to improve, with up to 600 tonnes of road building materials set to be used.”
Cllr Anton Dani, county councillor for Boston North, said: “The road surfacing at this important junction is starting to break apart and the traffic signals are quite old, so these improvements will make a noticeable difference when finished in early September.
“I want to assure residents that, although there will be some daytime traffic signals and night-time working, all noisy operations will stop before 1am and access will be maintained throughout the works. This should help keep disruption down.”
