Burringham Bypass moves forward – plans submitted for Scunthorpe’s southern motorway link
Comments Off on Burringham Bypass moves forward – plans submitted for Scunthorpe’s southern motorway linkPlans to finally connect Scunthorpe’s southern motorway junction to the rest of the town have now been submitted – marking a major step towards delivering the long-awaited link.
The proposed road will connect the M181 roundabout directly to Burringham Road, turning what has long been seen as a standalone junction into a working southern gateway.
If approved, drivers in Ashby, Bottesford, Burringham, Yaddlethorpe and Messingham will benefit from a faster, more direct route to the motorway – easing pressure on Berkeley Circle and improving traffic flow across the town.
Cllr Rob Waltham, leader, North Lincolnshire Council, said: “This is a big step forward – we know residents have been asking for years where that roundabout leads and now we know. This is how this will be turned into a proper route.
“We’ve done the groundwork and secured the funding – now it’s right that the plans go through the proper planning process. This will be considered independently, as it should be, but what we’ve done is make sure everything is in place to deliver it.
The scheme will be delivered by Keepmoat and is funded through the Local Regeneration Fund, with funding confirmed as part of the council’s approved budget.
This latest milestone follows continued investment in the local road network, focused on keeping traffic moving and supporting growth across North Lincolnshire.
Cllr Neil Poole, deputy leader and cabinet member for highways, said: “This is the step that gets it moving.
“Once approved, this link will make a real difference – giving communities a direct route to the motorway and taking pressure off Berkeley Circle.
“It’s a practical improvement residents will feel every day.”
