A605 Oundle Road overbridge (near Kates Cabin)
I am writing with an update on the work we are carrying out on the A605 Oundle Road overbridge, which is located above the A1, near Kates Cabin services. Work includes bridge waterproofing, replacement of joints and parapets, plus drainage works.
Work is progressing and we are expecting to be completed early June 2023.
