The Northampton North-West Relief Road will link the A428 Harlestone Road with the A5199 Welford Road. It will serve the housing growth that is proposed to the west and north of Northampton. It will also help address existing congestion by providing another crossing of the river valley.
Description of scheme
The Northampton North-West Relief Road will link the A428 Harlestone Road with the A5199 Welford Road. The section from the A428 to south of the railway line will be constructed by the developers of Dallington Grange. The first part of this section has already been constructed as part of the Harlestone Manor development. We will be responsible for building the section of road across the railway line connecting the developer's road to the A5199 Welford Road.
Benefits of the scheme
The Northampton North-West Relief Road will reduce congestion in the north-west of Northampton. It will be providing a new crossing of the river valley.
The new road will also improve access to the motorway and other strategic roads. These include Moulton Park, Round Spinney and Lodge Farm Industrial Estates.
How the Scheme will be funded
The road will be funded by a combination of central government, local government and developer funding.
Government funding of £7.93m has been allocated from the SEMLEP Local Growth Deal.
We have committed up to £4.2m towards the scheme.
Developer contributions of at least £15m have been identified towards the scheme.

Nice to see brains being engaged at last with bridges being built first, I can remember the M5 stopping at the Avon River and the M40 waiting for the viaduct to be built at High Wycombe
