Bawtry residents invited to find out more about railway bridge reconstruction
- Region & Route:
- Eastern
Network Rail is inviting residents to find out more about major work to reconstruct a bridge which carries the railway over Gainsborough Road.
The major project will begin in September and will see the bridge reconstructed, to enable trains to continue to run reliably and safely for years to come.
To allow the work to take place safely, a section of Gainsborough road will need to be closed. Initially, this will be a single lane closure with traffic lights in place, but the main work will require a full road closure.
Clearly signposted diversion routes will be in place during this time.
For those interested in finding out more about the work, Network Rail is holding a public information event on Wednesday, 3 August.
The event will be a drop-in session and will take place at The New Hall, Bawtry between 15:00 and 20:00.
Teams from Network Rail will be on hand to provide more details and ask any questions which residents may have.
If you want to find out more but can’t attend the event, you can call the Network Rail National Helpline on 03457 11 41 41.

About Network Rail
We own, operate and develop Britain's railway infrastructure; that's 20,000 miles of track, 30,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts and the thousands of signals, level crossings and stations. We run 20 of the UK's largest stations while all the others, over 2,500, are run by the country's train operating companies.
Usually, there are almost five million journeys made in the UK and over 600 freight trains run on the network. People depend on Britain's railway for their daily commute, to visit friends and loved ones and to get them home safe every day. Our role is to deliver a safe and reliable railway, so we carefully manage and deliver thousands of projects every year that form part of the multi-billion pound Railway Upgrade Plan, to grow and expand the nation's railway network to respond to the tremendous growth and demand the railway has experienced - a doubling of passenger journeys over the past 20 years.
