Upcoming A45 closures near Raunds as essential resurfacing to begin next month
Overnight closures on the A45 between Raunds and Thrapston to allow for improvement works to the surface will begin in October.
The closures will take place between 9pm and 6am during a seven-week period, starting on October 5.
A Raunds Town Council spokesman said: “We’ve received notification from National Highways of upcoming essential resurfacing, vegetation clearance, drainage and road marking work on the A45 between Thrapston and Raunds.
“Work will take place overnight, Monday to Friday, from 9pm to 6am from Monday 5 October to Thursday 26 November 2026.
"During closures, a fully signed diversion will be in place."
Work is planned to take place within phased closures of the A45. From Monday, October 5 to Tuesday, October 6, four-way temporary traffic lights will be in operation at the roundabout linking Raunds Road to the A45.
Then, from Monday, October 5 to Thursday, November 26, a full closure of the A45 will be in place between Thrapston and Raunds in both directions, and on Friday, November 20, ‘roundabout management’ will be in effect at the Thrapston roundabout.
A diversion route has been provided while works are ongoing, which extend through Irthlingborough, Finedon and via the A510 to take drivers onto the A14 towards its junction with the A45.
