Drivers warned of multiple road closures across Northampton for works
Several roads in Northampton are set to face temporary closures as repair and utility works are carried out over the coming weeks.
The measures have been announced by West Northamptonshire Council, which has issued a series of temporary traffic regulation orders affecting streets across the town and surrounding villages.
Among the Northampton roads affected is Birds Hill Walk, where traffic will be prohibited between the junction of the footpath and the rear of a nearby school while electrical works are carried out. The closure is expected to last for around 12 days from March 30, 2026, with drivers advised to follow a diversion via Billing Brook Road.
Elsewhere, Junction Road will be closed for one day between Milton Street and Oliver Street to allow carriageway repairs to take place. A diversion route will direct traffic via Milton Street North, Randall Road and Kingsley Road.
Further closures in the town include Broadway East, between Beech Avenue and Lindsay Avenue, which is expected to shut for one day for carriageway repairs. Montague Crescent will also close for up to three days from its junction with Mordaunt Lane while new water connection works are carried out.
Drivers in the Dallington area are also being warned about disruption as Merthyr Road closes between Dallington Road and Aberdare Road for investigation works. The restriction is expected to last around five days.
Another closure is planned for Baring Road, between Vicarage Road and Spencer Bridge Road, for carriageway works expected to take two days.
Outside the town, several other roads across West Northamptonshire will also be affected by temporary restrictions.
These include Church Street in Naseby, Brixworth Road in Spratton, and Knock Lane in Blisworth, as well as Banbury Lane in Gayton, where a temporary 40mph speed limit will be introduced during guard rail works.
Further temporary closures are scheduled for Halse Road in Greatworth, Blakesley Hill in Greens Norton, Main Street in Whiston, and Marlow Road in Towcester.
Although the legal orders can remain in force for up to 18 months, the council says each restriction will only be in place for the time required to complete the works, which in most cases is expected to range from one to several days.
