Large funeral procession expected to cause delays in Lincolnshire

Large funeral procession expected to cause delays in Lincolnshire

Motorists are being advised to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journeys on Friday 13 November as significant traffic delays are expected across parts of Lincolnshire due to a large funeral procession.

The procession is expected to travel from Donington from around 11am and pass through several key routes, including the A52, A17, A15, A16 and A152, as well as through Sleaford town centre.

The anticipated route will see the procession travel:

•    From Donington onto the A52 towards the A17
•    Along the A17 towards Sleaford
•    Through Sleaford via Carre Street, Southgate and Northgate
•    Past Holdingham and back onto the A15
•    Towards the A17 and A16 near Spalding
•    Along the A152 through Surfleet and Gosberton

The procession is expected to move slowly and remain together throughout its journey, which may lead to congestion and delays, particularly in and around Sleaford and on the surrounding road network.

Drivers are encouraged to consider alternative routes where possible and allow additional time for travel.

We would like to thank motorists for their patience and understanding while the procession takes place.
