A major road in Rutland faces a second bout of disruption.

Part of the A6003 near the village of Caldecott is to close for 26th July until 30th July 2021.

This closure is needed to allow Tarmac to undertake essential surface works and road safety enhancements on behalf of Rutland County Council.

The works follow months of closure of the A6003 at Manton Bridge, whilst Network Rail carried out safety improvements to a railway bridge as previously reported by Nub News.

Rutland County Council says the work near Caldecott must be carried out under a full road closure. The closure will be along the A6003 from the junction with Lyddington Road, Caldecott, to the junction with Lyddington Road, Uppingham.

A diversion will be in place and clearly signposted while works are ongoing. The official diversion route for vehicles travelling from Uppingham towards Corby is via the A47, joining the A43 at Duddington and connecting to A427 at Corby. This route is reversed for vehicles travelling from Corby towards Uppingham.

Local police officers have been requested to provide additional police presence through Lyddington at various times throughout the closure period.
