Main St, South Croxton closed

Motorists in South Croxton are being advised to plan their journeys carefully due to a medium-severity disruption on Main Street, which has been closed to through traffic since 14:38 on August 6, 2026. The closure is expected to remain in place until 23:00 on August 18, 2026. This disruption is located in the rural community of South Croxton, approximately 15 miles west of Leicester city centre, and is being managed by Leicestershire County Council.

According to Leicestershire County Council, scaffolding works on Main Street are the primary cause of the disruption. While access for pedestrians and residents is being maintained, drivers are being redirected around the affected area to ensure public safety. Motorists are advised to use alternative routes, such as the nearby A563, to avoid the congestion caused by the closure.

As a result of the scaffolding work, the highway authority has implemented a medium-severity disruption, indicating that some traffic disruption is expected, but the road is not entirely closed. However, drivers are urged to exercise caution and plan their journeys in advance to avoid delays. Checking traffic apps, such as Waze, Google Maps, or Inrix, is highly recommended to stay up-to-date with the latest traffic information and find the most efficient routes.

Motorists who frequently use Main Street for work or school commutes are advised to explore alternative routes in advance to minimise disruption to their daily routines. Regularly checking traffic updates will also help drivers make informed decisions about their journeys. While the scaffolding works are essential for maintaining the structural integrity of the road, they do pose a significant challenge for local residents and commuters.

For those who rely on Main Street for essential services, such as public transport or deliveries, local authorities are working closely with the highway authority to ensure that essential services continue to operate as normally as possible. Residents who rely on these services are advised to contact their service providers directly for the latest information on their operating schedules.
