For the original B1193 in Lincoln, see B1193 (Lincoln).
The B1193 follows the former, pre southern relief road, route of the A151 through Bourne in Lincolnshire.
Route
From west to east, it leaves the A151 at a roundabout near Park Farm and then follows West Road into the town centre, where it crosses the A15 at traffic lights. The route continues east along Abbey Road, past the Abbey Lawns sports field, and then follows the winding Spalding Road as far as the junction at which our through route ahead becomes the A151 once more.
History
The number was allocated initially to the South-eastern bypass upon its opening in 1982. A 0.35 mile new road between A15 South Road and Tunnel Bank was opened on 22 April 1982. It had a 7.3m wide carriageway plus footpaths. Cost was £300,000. The existing Cherry Holt Road formed the remainder of the bypass northwards to Spalding Road.
The 1.5 mile South-western bypass from West Road to South Road opened on 8 October 2005 and this together with the South-eastern bypass became A151 and the B1193 number was transferred to the former A151 route through the town.
