A45 to close overnight for 15 days for essential tree management work
The official diversion take drivers on the A6 through Irthlingborough and Finedon
The A45 between Stanwick and Raunds will close for nearly three weeks on November 30 as essential tree management work is due to take place.
Trees will be removed on the stretch of the A45 between the Stanwick roundabout and Raunds roundabout as they have become hazardous due to ash dieback and are no longer sustainable.
Works will take place overnight Monday to Friday from 8pm to 6am from Monday, November 30 until Friday, December 18 where both directions will be closed.
A spokesman for National Highways said: “We’ll make every effort to ensure the impact on the local community and travelling public is kept to a minimum. We always aim to work to the programme, however unforeseen circumstances or adverse weather conditions may mean changes.
“We’d also like to apologise for any inconvenience or disruption to those living close to our work. We’ll make every effort to carefully manage noise levels and additional lighting to minimise the impact.”
A fully signed diversion will be in place during the closures, which takes drivers on the A6 through Irthlingborough and Finedon, before joining the A14 near Thrapston. Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained where possible.
