Route closure: Route 64 at Skellingthorpe
A section of Route 64 in Skellingthorpe, Lincolnshire will be closed between Bluebell Pond and Jerusalem Road bridge from Monday 19 January to Friday 30 January.
The closure is required to allow Anglian Water to remove and replace a malfunctioning water valve located beneath the path. While it was initially planned to keep the route open at a restricted width, the valve has been found to be larger and deeper than expected, meaning a full closure is now necessary.
Route users are advised to plan journeys in advance and follow all on-site signage during the works.
Route 64 starts out on the Northamptonshire-Leicestershire border at the pretty town of Market Harborough where it travels north. The route resumes at, Melton Mowbray, which is well worth a stop-off. Known as the home of the pork pie, there is a farmer's market here every Tuesday which dates back to 1077. The route continues until there is a gap around Bottesford where the route then continues onto Newark-on-Trent.
