Spalding Road is currently closed in both directions following a major traffic collision.
A spokesperson for Lincolnshire Police said: “We are at the scene of two-vehicle collision on Spalding Road in Boston. The road will be closed from the Queen Street Roundabout and further south. Please avoid the area if you can. Inc84 of 31/10/25.”
Significant delays are currently being faced by commuters around the area, with delays also expected on public transport.
A spokesperson for Brylaine Travel said: “Due to the closure of the A16, can we please ask all town centre passengers to board their services at the Bus Station, so we can action a diversion along Sleaford Road and West End Road.
