Nine Northampton roads set for temporary closures over next fortnight

Drivers are being warned of a series of temporary road closures across Northampton over the coming weeks as West Northamptonshire Council carries out road repairs and utility works.

Among the roads affected is Yelvertoft Road, which will be closed between the A508 and Nursery Lane for three days from August 3 while a new water connection is installed.

Fair Mile will also close for one day from August 3 between Acre Lane and Fallow Walk to allow carriageway repairs to be completed.

Further one-day closures are planned on Clare Street, between Great Russell Street and Earl Street, and on Earl Street and Military Road, between Duke Street and Craven Street, on August 3 for carriageway repairs.
