Plans to create new walking and cycling routes between Spalding and Pinchbeck are moving forward, with construction on the first two phases scheduled to begin in spring 2026. The work is expected to take up to eight months.
Drainage surveys on Pinchbeck Road will take place overnight this autumn to map underground pipes and connections before construction starts. The design team is also addressing an unexpected clash with a gas main and finalising details for a wider road reconstruction project on the same route.
The scheme, funded with £1.8 million from Active Travel England’s Tranche 3 fund, will initially cover the stretch from Forge Close to Enterprise Way. Later phases, extending towards Knight Street, will depend on securing further funding.
The project will introduce new pathways and cycleways designed to make travel safer and more accessible for walkers, cyclists and mobility aid users. Driveway access will remain, and any changes to on-street parking are subject to consultation with residents.
Traffic management plans are still being prepared, but a mix of road closures and temporary signals is likely. Access to homes and businesses will be maintained throughout the works.
