The Location
The proposed Lincoln Eastern Growth Corridor – an extension
to the western relief road, is a project with a minimum
ten-year horizon. It will create a link from the A158 to the
A46 thus providing an eastern outer ring road for the City. It
will open up significant land for development (both
employment and housing) and create a sustainable framework
for the development of the City and environs to 2021.
