NATIONAL HIGHWAYS UPDATE – Important roadworks information A14 junctions 16 to 17 – drainage work
Dear Customer
We recently wrote to inform you of our upcoming overnight closures on the A14 between junctions 16 and 17 in both directions to complete drainage work. I am writing to inform you of a change to these dates.
We plan to complete this work between Wednesday 9 April and Thursday 15 May. We will work weeknights only between 8pm and 6am, weather conditions permitting.
Closures and diversions
To carry out the work safely, we will need to close the A14 between junctions 16 and 17, and divert traffic as detailed below:
|

A14 eastbound between junctions 13 and 21

Wednesday 9 April to Wednesday 16 April 2025

Traffic wishing to travel eastbound on the A14 will need to exit at junction 13 and follow the A605 for approximately 14.5 miles. At the Fletton Parkway Interchange, take the third exit onto A1(M) and merge onto the A1. Continue to Brampton Hut Interchange, then take the third exit onto A141. At the roundabout, take the first exit and rejoin the A14 eastbound at junction 21, where the diversion will end. |

Traffic wishing to travel westbound on the A14 will need to take the exit slip road at junction 21. At the roundabout, take the second exit onto A141. At the following roundabout take the second exit and stay on the A141. At the Brampton Hut Interchange take the first exit onto the A1 northbound. Continue straight and merge onto the A1(M). Exit at junction 17 and bear left. At the Fletton Parkway Interchange, take the first exit onto A605. Continue on the A605 to Thrapston. Join the A14 at junction 13, where the diversion will end. |
There will be a 50mph speed restriction, narrow lanes, lane 2 closures and a temporary barrier in place on the A14 until the end of the works for the safety of road users. We expect to finish these works early June 2025.
Thank you for your patience whilst we carry out these essential works.
