City of Lincoln Council

An exciting project ahead for an important building in our city centre!

Significant progress is underway for the Western Growth Corridor development, with GRAHAM Group leading the next phase of key infrastructure works to create the eastern access. This includes the construction of a new bridge over the railway, improving access for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians. This development will assist the delivery of up to 3,200 new homes and contribute to Lincoln’s long-term economic growth. The project, supported by a £20 million government grant, is set for completion in spring 2026, marking a key step towards our vision for sustainable urban development.
