30mph Limit To Come Into Force On A6

A 30mph speed limit is to come into force on a section of the A6 between Market Harborough and Kibworth for ten months.

Highway bosses say it’s so work connected with the upgrade of the sewage treatment works – located off Harborough Road in Kibworth – can safely take place.

The restriction, set to come into force on January  7th, will affect a 450 metre stretch of the A6, from the West Langton Road junction, to close to New Road turn, where there is usually a 50 and 40mph limit.

It’s likely to cause further traffic congestion in the area during rush hour.
