Major works are being undertaken to the railway bridge on Northampton Road, Kettering from 24th July to 4th September 2017; the road will be closed at the bridge throughout this period.

Although the recommended diversion for A14 traffic accessing Kettering is via the A14/A43/Rockingham Road, it is highly likely that many road users will exit at the Rothwell Road junction on the A14, and local traffic from a number of housing estates will divert along Gipsy Lane. As a result, villagers travelling to Kettering are likely to experience considerable delays at the junction of Gipsy Lane with Rothwell Road, by the Crematorium.
