North Northamptonshire Council says the road treatment is designed to extend the life of roads showing early signs of wear by improving skid resistance and sealing the surface against water damage.

Temporary 20mph speed limits will also be in place while loose chippings are cleared.

The daytime and overnight closures include the A6 Rothwell and Desborough bypass between June 3 and 16, the A427 Stoke Hill at Stoke Albany from June 1 to 14, and the B576 Harborough Road in Desborough from June 4 to 16.
