The opening of the Grantham Southern Relief Road (GSRR) in Lincolnshire has been pushed to late 2027 at the earliest as issues relating to installation of a new bridge on the project are dragging on. Lincolnshire County Council’s GSRR is a new 3.5km road between the A52 and the A1 being intended to reduce congestion and provide growth opportunities. This was expected to delay the road opening into 2026 and push the cost of the project up by £10-20M. However, a council spokesperson has now confirmed to NCE that the guiding structure has not yet arrived and is instead expected in October. The guiding structure is a tubular steel truss that will be attached to the front of the bridge deck to aid in its movement into place.
