Network Rail says the improvements will "improve safety and reliability for road and rail users"

Four level crossings in Lincolnshire will benefit from nearly a million pounds being spent by Network Rail on renewal work.

The resurfacing will be carried out at Holton le Moor, Brigg, Butterswood and Little London.

The crossings will be closed and some rail services will be affected while the work is carried out.

Network Rail said the upgrades will "make future maintenance more efficient and cost effective."

The work will be completed in phases between 31 May to 8 June.

Network Rail said the resurfacing will renew "decades-old features which are now life expired."

There will be some changes to train services, with rail replacement buses running between Cleethorpes and Barnetby on some dates, the organisation said.

Passengers have been advised to check with their rail operator before they travel.
