A606 Langham Road Closure Causes Traffic Chaos

Motorists are advised to avoid the A606 at Langham following a road closure due to a serious road traffic collision (RTC).  

The closure is in effect between the Melton Mowbray side of Langham and the Pickwell crossroads.

Emergency services are currently on the scene, and the road is expected to remain closed for some time while investigations take place and the area is cleared.  This has resulted in significant traffic congestion, with long tailbacks reported in both directions.

Drivers are strongly urged to find alternative routes and allow extra time for their journeys.  Local diversions may be in place, but these are likely to be heavily congested as well.  It is recommended to seek alternative routes further afield to avoid the affected area entirely.
