Probe Into Highway Defect On A6

Highway bosses are investigating the cause of an apparent subsidence issue affecting part of the A6 near Market Harborough.

The problem has created a hump in the road on the northbound carriageway, between the Little Bowden turn at Clack Hill and the A427/Rockingham Road roundabout.

An investigation has been launched to determine what has caused the issue and the repairs needed

Leicestershire County Council was alerted to the issue by concerned drivers and has erected signs to warn motorists of the defect in the road.

A council spokesperson told HFM: “The county council’s highways team is currently assessing a section of road near the A427 Rockingham Road roundabout, to check the extent of repair work required.”
