Network Rail would have High Street crossing closed (but don't want to pay for a foot bridge) however they still have plans to increase the amount of freight traffic through Lincoln. To help to mitigate some of the impact of that, this is the proposed route of a new east-west relief road connecting Tentercroft Street to the Kesteven Street & Great Northern Terrace roundabout. Subject to planning, work will start in 2013. Update: Work on the £22m relief road eventually started in November 2014 and it opened in August 2016.
