A509 Isham bypass
The Isham Bypass scheme is for a proposed dual carriageway, starting from the Symmetry Park roundabout, running in a southerly direction west of the village of Isham, and re-joining the A509 Kettering Road midway between Hill Top and Great Harrowden.
This will reduce congestion on the A509, improve transport links between Kettering and Wellingborough by helping to meet the needs of growth in the two towns, improve access from Wellingborough to the A14, and relieve some through traffic.
There will be roundabout junctions at the:
- existing A509 Kettering Road (the Symmetry Park roundabout), south of the A14 Pytchley roundabout
- B574 Hill Top Road
The A509 is an important primary route in Northamptonshire providing a north / south link between the A14 and A45 trunk roads, serving Kettering and Wellingborough and destinations towards the southwest.
Benefits of the scheme
The bypass will:
- reduce congestion on the existing A509 through the village of Isham
- improve transport links between Kettering and Wellingborough by helping to meet the needs of growth in the two towns and
- improve access from Wellingborough to the A14
