Drivers and residents in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, should prepare for a week of travel disruption on Midland Road starting on 20 March 2026. The gas company Cadent is carrying out essential repairs to the gas mains to ensure the local network remains safe and reliable for the community.

According to North Northamptonshire Council, the project is expected to last until 26 March 2026. People using this central route, including bus passengers and delivery drivers for local shops, should expect lane restrictions and slower traffic throughout the week.

The council advises anyone travelling through the area to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journeys. Residents can check for real-time updates and view the exact location of the works by using the official roadworks map on the local authority website.
