Major road into Northampton set to close for TWO-WEEKS overnight, with 'delays expected' for thousands of motorists
A major road in and out of Northampton is set to close overnight for two weeks, affecting thousands of motorists.
Works to install anti-skid material on the eastbound carriageway of the A4500, between Kislingbury and Upton, will begin on Monday (January 27) and are expected to last until February 7.
These works by Kier, on behalf of West Northamptonshire Council (WNC), will involve overnight closures from 8pm to 6am with “delays expected” for many motorists.
Works to resurface the eastbound carriageway were recently completed, including overnight closures from 8pm to 6am between January 13 and 18. During this time, parts of the two-mile stretch were resurfaced, and road markings were applied.
The road needed resurfacing due to potholes and had not been resurfaced since the early 2000s.
WNC has confirmed there are no plans to resurface the westbound carriageway.
The cost of the works has not been disclosed, as it is "yet to be determined."
