Melton Mowbray High St closed

Motorists in Melton Mowbray are advised to plan ahead as High Street will be partially closed due to scaffolding works from 7th August 2026 until 19th August 2026. The closure, which is expected to last for 12 days, will be in place from 13:11 on 7th August 2026 until 23:00 on 19th August 2026. Leicestershire County Council is responsible for the scaffolding works, which have been scheduled to take place during this period.

The partial closure of High Street will affect traffic flow in the area, and drivers are advised to use alternative routes to avoid the disruption. Those heading to Melton Mowbray are encouraged to check traffic apps for up-to-date information on road conditions and to plan their journeys accordingly. Motorists should also consider allowing extra time for their journeys to account for potential delays.

High Street, which runs through the heart of Melton Mowbray, is a key route in the area, and the closure is expected to impact local businesses and residents. However, Leicestershire County Council has assured that the scaffolding works will be carried out as safely and efficiently as possible, with minimal disruption to the community.

The partial closure of High Street will be in place Monday to Sunday, with no restrictions on Bank Holidays. Motorists are urged to be aware of the road closure and to plan their journeys in advance to avoid any unnecessary delays. Those who rely on the route for their daily commute are advised to explore alternative options, such as public transport or alternative roads.

In addition to the scaffolding works, roadworks are also underway on High Street, with Leicestershire County Council working to improve the road infrastructure in the area. While the scaffolding works are expected to cause some disruption, the long-term benefits of the project will be a safer and more efficient road network.
