Junction Works On Track To Finish Next Month

Improvements to a busy road junction in Market Harborough are on track to be completed next month.

Work has been taking place at the junction of Rockingham Road and Gores Lane since August, with temporary traffic lights causing delays for drivers.

The junction improvements form part of a wider £1.9 million project along Rockingham Road.

Highways bosses say signs warning of disruption until next spring refer to the wider scheme

The work at Gores Lane includes creating an additional lane where it meets Rockingham Road and upgrading the traffic signals.

Leicestershire Country Council say recently installed signs warning of disruption until next spring refer to the wider scheme, with further work planned along the road in the coming weeks.

The wider project includes a new shared-use path for walking, wheeling and cycling, alongside priority crossings for pedestrians and cyclists.

Improvements are also planned for the junction of St Mary’s Road and Kettering Road.

A potential one-way system on Clarence Street is another part of the proposals, although that element of the project is currently on hold.
