Major highways projects and investment

Major road projects in North Northamptonshire:

• A43 Northampton to Kettering - The A43 between Northampton and Kettering suffers from congestion hotspots, journey time delay and road safety issues due to vehicles trying to overtake. To tackle these problems, it is proposed to dual sections of the A43. Due to the scale of the scheme, this will be achieved in phases
• A509 Isham bypass - developed to address existing traffic issues in Isham and to accommodate anticipated traffic growth in the coming years

Investment: 

• Local Transport Grant - Our area will receive £54m to be spent on highway and transport improvements up to 2029/30.
