Narborough: Victoria St closed due skips

Victoria Street in Narborough will be closed to traffic from 12 August 2026 until 17 August 2026. The roadworks, which will see Victoria Street partially closed, are due to the presence of skips in the area. Leicestershire County Council, the authority responsible for the highway, has announced the closure to ensure public safety while the work is carried out.

The road closure is expected to have a significant impact on drivers, particularly those who rely on Victoria Street as a key route. Motorists are advised to plan their journeys in advance, checking traffic apps such as Waze or Google Maps for the latest updates on the roadworks. Alternative routes should be explored, including the A47 and A6, to avoid the affected area.

During the day, the closure will be in place from 7am to 7pm, while at night, it will be in effect from 7pm to 7am the following morning. Drivers should be aware of the changing traffic conditions and adjust their travel plans accordingly. Leicestershire County Council has promised to keep the public updated on the progress of the work and any changes to the road closure.

The roadworks are being carried out to remove skips that have been left on Victoria Street. While the exact timing of the work is subject to change, it is expected to be completed by 17 August 2026. Drivers are urged to check for updates before embarking on their journey, as the situation may change at short notice.

Motorists are also reminded to follow the instructions of traffic marshals and to be aware of any diversion signs in the area. While the road closure is in place, drivers should be patient and considerate of other road users. By planning ahead and checking for updates, drivers can help to reduce congestion and minimize disruption to their journey.

Leicestershire County Council has apologised for any inconvenience the road closure may cause and has assured the public that the work is essential to ensuring public safety. For the latest information on the roadworks and any changes to the road closure, please visit Road Closures UK.
