Written by on 13th July 2026

New road markings are due to be installed on the A6 Rothwell and Desborough bypass later this week following safety concerns.

The white lines have been missing since resurfacing work was completed last month, with temporary signs advising drivers not to overtake while permanent markings were awaited.
