Motorists travelling through North Northamptonshire can expect delays this week as utility improvement work takes place on two busy roads. Both Kettering Road and Church Street are currently affected by roadworks.

According to North Northamptonshire Council, the disruptions are due to necessary infrastructure upgrades. Cadent is currently carrying out gas main replacement work on Kettering Road. These repairs are part of a larger £1.1 billion investment across the company’s Eastern Network intended to update aging gas infrastructure.

At the same time, Anglian Water is conducting pipework on Church Street. Drivers are advised to plan their journeys in advance and consider using alternate routes to avoid potential traffic build-up in these areas.
