Night closures of A14 in Northamptonshire for works

The westbound A14 in Northamptonshire will be closed for five nights from Monday while congestion-detecting cables are installed.

The carriageway will be shut between junction two and the Catthorpe Interchange at junction 19 of the M1.

Between 2000 GMT and 0600 GMT, all vehicles except lorries will be diverted along the A508 towards Market Harborough and the A4304 to the M1.

Lorries must leave the A14 at junction 13, and join the A45 to the M1.

The closure is part of a £70m scheme by the Highways Agency to install fibre optic cables along three sections of the A14.

It will provide real-time traffic information to 67 electronic overhead signs.

CCTV traffic monitoring cameras will also be installed at 48 strategic locations along the route to allow operators to monitor traffic flows.
