asked Her Majesty's Government:

How the extensive roadworks currently in progress at the intersection of the B6403 and the A1 dual carriageway near Colsterworth are intended to improve road safety. [HL3200]

The intersection of the B6403 and the Al near Colsterworth has a poor accident record. It is intended that this will be improved by closing the gap in the central reservation currently used by local traffic crossing the Al, and traffic on the Al turning right onto the B6403, and by routing traffic and non-motorised users on to the new overbridge currently under construction.
