"These sections of road are nearing the end of their serviceable life and need to be replaced.

"Whilst on site, we'll also be taking the opportunity to replace some of the footways, including installing new kerbing and laying surfacing.

"These improvement works, as a whole, will make travelling through Ruskington safer and more comfortable, whether it be by foot, cycle or car.
