Roads and paths20 October 2025
From Monday 27 October, works will start on Junction 9 of the A14 in Kettering to build a new shared footway and cycleway between Isham and Kettering.
The works will be completed in five phases, with phases 1 and 2 (from 27 October to mid-February) undertaken during daytime hours and phases 3,4 and 5 (from mid- January) under night time working hours.
Works will take place on the east side of the roundabout at Junction 9, widening the pavement on both the slip roads.
Works include:
- Site clearance of vegetation
- Installation of Vehicle Restraint System
- Drainage, gullies and manhole works
- Installation of kerbing, edging and tactile paving
- Installation of traffic signal ducts
- Levelling and reshaping of the upper verge to accommodate the widening
- Street Lighting and signage
- Surfacing works with associated road marking
During the works, there will be lane closures from 27 October and overnight road closures (currently planned from 27 February - 5 March 2026 and 8 June - 6 July 2026) and more details can be found on One Network.
The works are part of a Section 278 agreement secured by North Northamptonshire Council as part of the planning approvals for the Symmetry Park development. Once complete, the works will connect the foot and cycle way that has already been constructed to the south of the A14 to existing foot and cycle ways within Kettering.
All the works are funded by the developer and will be undertaken by Walker Construction.
