Notification of essential maintenance works - A45 LED upgrades

We have received notification from National Highways of planned essential maintenance works on the A45.

We're upgrading the current lighting to LEDs on the A45 between Brackmills and Raunds.

The new LED lighting will be more energy efficient and require less maintenance in the future.

When will this work take place?

We'll work overnight, between 8pm and 5am, Monday to Saturday, between 14 October 2024 to 14 January 2025. This is our first update covering 14th October to 15th November and we'll provide monthly updates throughout the scheme.

In order to carry out this work safely, we'll work under a combination of full and single lane closures.

What does this mean for you?

We'll provide an update on future diversions and any planned program changes in early November.

Access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained throughout.

We'll make every effort to ensure the impact on the local community and travelling public is kept to a minimum. We always aim to work to the programme, however unforeseen circumstances or adverse weather conditions may mean changes.

Please accept our apologies in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
