Railway crossing on Foxcovert Road near Werrington
The level crossing on Foxcovert Road is accessible to pedestrians and cyclists but has been closed to motor traffic for many years. The road crosses the line between Peterborough and Lincoln via Spalding and Sleaford. In response to a long-running campaign by local residents following a fatal accident at the crossing in 2009, Network Rail announced in April 2013 that a footbridge would be erected at the site. Construction work is scheduled for completion in March 2014. Foxcovert Road links Werrington on the northern periphery of Peterborough with the villages of Glinton and Peakirk.
