CLOSURE OF A607 Wednesday April 23rd to Sunday 22nd June 2025

As you may be aware, Galliford Try are working with Leicestershire County Council to deliver the construction of the NEMMDR project. We would like to take this opportunity to provide you with advanced notice of the planned road closure of the A607 to the east of Melton Mowbray on the section between Thorpe Arnold and Melton Golf Club and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Why is the closure required? A full road closure is required to safely complete the new roundabout construction works as part of the NEMMDR project. Due to the nature of the work being undertaken at this location work cannot be carried out using a partial lane closure. The works include removal of the existing carriageway and reconstruction to a new alignment with service trenches and excavations across the full length of the carriageway. We anticipate this closure will enable us to complete the new roundabout without the need for further closures. However, should any final works be required such as the installation of signage, lighting columns and roadside works, there may be a requirement to complete these elements under temporary 2-way traffic lights.

Closure Details The closure will be in place from 6:00am on Wednesday 23rd April until 11:59 pm Sunday 22nd June 2025. The closure has been planned and programmed to make use of school half term holidays to minimise disruption. Please be aware access will be restricted for all traffic through the closure point, this includes no access for pedestrians and cyclists. The road will reopen on the 22nd June 2025. Please take care and be aware that the road layout will have changed. As part of wider mitigation measures to prevent vehicles using local roads as cut throughs and causing damage to the local network, both Freeby Lane and Woodfold Lane will be closed to vehicles at their junctions with the A607. These local closures will be monitored and changes can be made if required.

Diversion Routes If travelling from Melton Mowbray on the A607 please be aware access is only available to the closure point at Thorpe Arnold. Please be aware Lag Lane remains closed. The current access arrangements for residents in Thorpe Arnold Village will remain in place at all times. If travelling towards Melton Mowbray on the A607 please be aware access is only available up to Melton Golf Club. The official diversion for traffic to and from Melton Mowbray is via the A606 to the A1.
