A16 road
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The A16 road is a principal road of Lincolnshire in the east of England, connecting the port of Grimsby and Stamford, where it meets the A1 and the A43 the latter, in turn, giving a through route to Oxford and the south west of England. Its length is 85 miles.
From north to south its route is:
- Grimsby
- Utterby
- Louth (now bypassed)
- Burwell
- Walmsgate
- Dalby
- Partney
- Spilsby
- East Keal
- Keal Cotes
- Stickford
- Stickney
- Sibsey
- Hilldyke
- Boston
- Wyberton
- Kirton (now bypassed)
- Surfleet
- Pinchbeck (now bypassed)
- Spalding (now bypassed)
- Deeping St Nicholas
- Market Deeping (now bypassed)
- Tallington
- Uffington
- Stamford
Although it has 'primary route' designation for its entire length virtually none of the A16 is dual carriageway and there are speed restrictions on much of it.
The one-mile (1.6 km) £1.2m Ludborough Bypass opened in November 1992. The one-mile (1.6 km) Fotherby Bypass opened in 2004. The three-mile (5 km) £6.6m Louth Bypass opened in August 1991.
