Lincoln Western Growth Corridor

The Lincoln Western Growth Corridor is an ongoing-major development in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England. It is being built at the junction of Birchwood Avenue and Skellingthorpe Road, close to the A46 road, Birchwood and Skellingthorpe. Work is still ongoing to build the major development in phases.

History
The development was approved in January 2022 upon consent given by the City of Lincoln Council. Work on the project began in August 2023 with temporary traffic lights being installed around Birchwood Avenue and Skellingthorpe Road while equipment and groundworks as well as road alignments and traffic light installations were taking place. This caused issues for locals living nearby due to the bottlenecked traffic during rush hour and the amount of disruption by the works going on. The temporary traffic lights were removed in March 2024.

Proposals for the development
The new development is planned to include up to 3,200 new houses on greenbelt land within the City of Lincoln Boundary. It will also include a new primary school, shopping centre and a new stadium for Lincoln City F.C.. There are also new road links planned to the city centre between Skellingthorpe Road/Birchwood Avenue and Tritton Road.
