BETWEEN TOWCESTER ROUNDABOUT (SOUTHBOUND) AND NORTHAMPTON ROAD ROUNDABOUT (BRACKLEY)

Notification from National Highways as follows:

"I am writing to let you know that we will be carrying out essential maintenance work to the A43 Southbound carriageway between the Towcester roundabout and the Northampton Road roundabout at Brackley.

During this comprehensive scheme of work, we will repair and replace damaged drains, resurface the carriageway, renew any damaged kerbs, refresh road markings, install road studs and vegetation clearance works.Once completed, all road users will benefit from improved road safety and a smoother driving experience.

When will the work take place?
We are planning to start work from the 11th July 2022 for approximately three months.

To keep our programme for these works as short as possible and to minimise disruption to the local community, we will work overnight between 8pm and 6am, Monday to Friday. We do not currently plan to work Saturday or Sunday nights, however please note that all our planned works are subject to change due to weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances, such as clashes with other emergency work on the diversion routes.

How will the work affect traffic and businesses?
To maintain a safe environment for our workforce and motorists, we will need to use a full carriageway closure while we work. During all road closures we will put in place fully signed diversion routes which have been agreed with the Local Authority.

All carriageways will be open as usual outside of our working hours. We will make sure that access to businesses and residences is maintained wherever possible.
