Northampton Northern Orbital Highway Improvements
The Northampton Northern Orbital Route is a proposal for a new road which will relieve traffic from the north of Northampton and surrounding villages.
Northamptonshire County Council consulted in 2017 on a new road linking the A5199 and Northampton North West Relief Road between Kingsthorpe and Chapel Brampton with the A43 north of Moulton.
The scheme was expected to be funded by a combination of government and developer funding.
The case for and nature of any Northern Orbital Highway infrastructure will in part be dependent on the scale and location of development located in the new Local Plan.
At the present time the need, nature and deliverability of the scheme is not sufficiently well defined and further study is required.
This further study will include the evidence base for the new Local Plan which will benefit from the Council’s new Strategic Traffic Model.
This page will be updated as the scheme progresses.
