Overnight closures planned for sections of A607 in Leicestershire

The A607 southbound, between the Asda roundabout and Humberstone Lane, will be closed to motorists overnight

Parts of a dual carriageway in Leicestershire will close overnight for repairs.

Patching work on the A607 in Syston and Thurmaston will take place in stages between 25 and 28 March.

Leicestershire County Council said different parts of the carriageway would close each night, with traffic diversions.

A temporary 30mph speed restriction will also be in place, the authority added.

The Syston Western Bypass section of the road will be the first to close, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS).

It will shut to traffic on the northbound side, between the Watersedge Way junction and Hobby Horse roundabout, from 20:00 GMT on 25 March until 06:00 the next day.

At the same time, Watersedge Way will be closed from its junction with Wanlip Road towards the Syston Western Bypass.

The county council said access would be maintained from the Syston Western Bypass to Wanlip Road while both repairs are carried out.

The Newark Road section of the A607 in Thurmaston will be shut southbound between the Asda roundabout and Humberstone Lane from 20:00 on 26 March until 06:00 the following morning.

The same stretch of road will close northbound from 20:00 on 27 March until 06:00 the following morning.
