Sileby: King St closed due roadworks

KING STREET in SILEBY will be closed to traffic from 12:24 on 06 August 2026 until 23:00 on 11 August 2026 due to ongoing scaffolding work. Motorists are advised to plan alternative routes in advance, as this may cause some disruption to their journeys in the area.

Leicestershire County Council is responsible for the roadworks, which are essential to ensure the safety of both workers and passing drivers. The scaffolding is being erected to facilitate repairs or maintenance of nearby buildings or infrastructure. The council has scheduled the work to take place during the evening hours, minimising the impact on peak-hour traffic.

Drivers should expect some congestion and delays in the area, particularly during rush hour. To avoid getting stuck in traffic, motorists are advised to check traffic updates regularly through apps such as Waze, Google Maps, or other similar services. By planning ahead and choosing alternative routes, drivers can help to reduce travel times and make their journeys smoother.

Residents and businesses in the vicinity may also experience some disruption due to the road closure. Pedestrian access will be maintained where possible, but drivers are advised to follow alternative routes to get to their destinations. Local residents are urged to be patient and understanding, as the roadworks are necessary to ensure public safety.

For those who rely on public transportation, it is recommended to check with local bus operators for any service alterations or diversions. This will help to ensure a smooth journey and avoid any unnecessary delays. Additionally, drivers may want to consider using public transportation or carpooling to reduce congestion and help the environment.

Leicestershire County Council will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates on the roadworks as necessary. Motorists are encouraged to check the council's website for the latest information on the road closure and any associated travel advice.
