Full details of rolling road closures in place in Northamptonshire this weekend for Men's Tour of Britain

The penultimate stage of the 2024 international cycling race will take place in West Northamptonshire on Saturday (September 7).

Starting from the University of Northampton at 11am and finishing at the Guildhall at around 2.45pm, the race will see riders clock up 91 miles through the area including nearly 30 villages, Northampton and Daventry.

To allow for the race to pass through areas of the county, rolling road closures will be in place. This means roads will be closed as the race approaches and then re-opened when all competitors have passed.

West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) has released road closures times in areas the race will pass through based on expected race timings. Each road closure is expected to last for around 45 minutes.
