Work to cut back trees and scrub on the A15/A1077 Barton roundabout will increase safety for motorists and also encourage wildflowers and wildlife.
The junction is being closed for resurfacing work at the end of the month and clearance work has been scheduled for the same time.
This will improve visibility in the area and reduce accident risk.
Clearing trees and vegetation will also improve biodiversity and encourage a larger number of plantlife, include wildflowers such as orchids, fairy flax, yellow wort and knapweeds.
It is also one of only two sites in North Lincolnshire for the common broomrape, an unusual parasitic plant that depends on the roots of other plants.
Increasing the number of wild plants will attract insects and pollinators to the area, particularly the common blue butterfly.
To enable the resurfacing and safety work to be carried out, the following traffic management plans will be in place on the roundabout:
• Tuesday 22 April – Friday 25 April – Inner ring lane closure 9am – 4pm each day
• Monday 28 April – Friday 2 May – Full road closure of interchange and all approaches 8pm – 6am each day.
