Road Closure Alert: Essential Works Set to Affect Travel Across Rutland County
Motorists in Rutland are advised to plan ahead as Rutland County Council (RCC), in partnership with contractors like Thomas Bow, announces a schedule of road closures and traffic light installations across the county for essential maintenance and utility works throughout October and November 2025.
Residents should anticipate delays and diversions, particularly with major resurfacing projects underway in key villages.
Full Road Closures: Resurfacing and Pole Renewal
Several locations will face temporary full closures to allow for necessary works, including highway maintenance and utility upgrades. These works are scheduled to take place during the day, with times varying by location.
Location Start Date End Date Requester (Reason) Time
Belton in Rutland (College Farm Road) 13/10/2023* 17/10/2025 Thomas Bow/RCC (Resurfacing) Day
Ketton (Barrowden Road) 21/10/2025 22/10/2025 RNR UK Ltd (Renew deteriorated telegraph pole) Day (8am to 4pm)

Wing (Middle Street) 27/10/2025 28/10/2025 Thomas Bow/RCC (Ground radar surveys) Day
*Note: The College Farm Road closure in Belton has a long start date, suggesting a long-running project or an ongoing closure period within the specified window.
The collaborative work between Thomas Bow and Rutland County Council is part of a wider highways maintenance contract aimed at improving road quality across the area.

Advice for Rutland Road Users
Rutland County Council urges all residents and commuters to check the latest roadwork information before travelling. These closures are essential to maintain and improve the local highway network.
Check Diversion Routes: Plan alternative routes in advance, especially for closures in Belton, Ketton, and Uppingham.
Allow Extra Time: Expect delays when travelling through areas using temporary traffic signals, particularly in Ryhall and North Luffenham this month, and in Oakham in November.
Exercise Caution: Be mindful of on-site workers and follow all temporary signage and speed restrictions.
