A rural road in North Lincolnshire has been closed with immediate effect after engineers confirmed it is no longer safe for motorists.
In just a few days, parts of College Road near East Halton have sunk by almost two centimetres and continues to move – with a serious risk of collapse if traffic keeps using it.
Specialist surveys have revealed widespread underground damage caused by wildlife activity tunnelling beneath the carriageway. The extent of the voids means the ground beneath the surface can no longer be trusted.
Because the animals involved are protected under national law, an extensive licensing process must now be navigated before repair work can begin.
