Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when the western carriageway of the A46 between Lincoln and Newark was last examined for defects; and when that stretch of carriageway is scheduled to be resurfaced.

The last inspection on the westbound A46 between Lincoln and Newark was conducted on 7 September 2023. National Highways did not identify any safety critical defects during their last inspection.

NH currently has a resurfacing scheme ongoing:

• A46 Northbound and Southbound - Winthorpe Roundabout to Brough Lane.
• Immediately following these resurfacing works NH will be completing some road surface repair work on the Southbound carriageway between the Hykeham and Halfway House roundabouts.

These works are due to be completed in October 2023.

National Highways are also currently in the process of scheduling some short-term road surface repairs between Brough and Hykeham. They currently anticipate these will be completed by the end of 2023.
