Works to repair the historic public right of way at Lincoln’s Glory Hole are now finished, signalling the end of a tough project on a public right of way alongside a river and associated with thinly bridge in the UK still to have shops on it.
Cllr Richard Davies, Lincolnshire County Council’s executive member for highways, said: “I’m really glad to announce that our improvements to Lincoln’s Glory Hole are now fully complete – meaning that the footway is back open as usual.
“Getting to this point has been a long, arduous process for everyone involved, simply because of the nature of Glory Hole and where it sits. Being a hard-to-reach, historic public right of way – on the bank of a live and very active riverway that’s also attached to a Grade II listed building – has proven incredibly challenging.
“Throughout this process, we’ve had to deal with several external agencies and had to overcome difficult access on site which led to the team having to be innovative with the design solution to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
“We got there in the end, so I want to thank everyone affected for their patience while we dealt with this unique and challenging repair project, right in the heart of Lincoln.”
