24 Mar
Summary
- Lower Street in Kettering will close for over two weeks for hospital upgrades.
- New underground electrical cables will be installed to support future hospital improvements.

Lower Street in Kettering, Northamptonshire, will be closed to traffic for over two weeks to allow for crucial upgrades connected to Kettering General Hospital. The closure, effective from Saturday until April 12, is essential for installing new underground electrical cables.
These new cables are part of a project to support future improvements at the hospital, notably enhancing maternity services. The contractor, HVSS, acknowledges potential disruption but stresses the necessity of these works for community benefit and future healthcare services.
During the closure, a signed diversion route will guide all vehicles, including buses and lorries, around the affected area. Access to Kettering General Hospital will remain available via these diversions, and bus services will continue with potential temporary stop adjustments. Motorists are urged to prepare for their journeys and allocate additional travel time.
