Northamptonshire village road to close for 12 days for electricity works
Diversion route outlined in planned road closure order
A road in a Northamptonshire village is set to close for 12 days later this month while electricity reinforcement works are carried out.
West Northamptonshire Council has announced plans to temporarily close Billing Lane in Overstone, between its junctions with Ibstock Close and Brittons Drive.
The restriction is expected to come into effect on Monday, November 23, 2026, and will be in place for approximately 12 days to allow the works to be carried out safely.
During the closure, drivers will be diverted via Talavera Way, the A43 and Sywell Road.
The council intends to introduce the restriction under Section 14 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.
Although the temporary traffic order will remain legally valid for up to 18 months, the actual road closure is only expected to last 12 days.
Restrictions will apply only when the appropriate traffic signs are displayed.
The road closure public notice was published in the Chronicle & Echo and the Public Notice Portal.
