not 1 but 3 of the main routes into melton are to shut for 3 months simultaneously

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd62z874187o

Motorists are being warned of months of disruption in a town in Leicestershire as several roads are set to shut as part of a bypass project.

The new 4.4-mile (7km) North & East Melton Distributor Road is being built to relieve congestion in Melton town centre and unlock land for homes to be built.

Part of St Bartholomew's Way, the B676 Saxby Road and the A606 Nottingham Road will shut to allow the construction of two new roundabouts and resurfacing, with the first closure to start on 16 June until 28 September.

The £115m scheme includes constructing six roundabouts and four bridges, the diversion of the River Eye and new cycling and walking infrastructure along its full length.

It's bad enough now but this will make MM live up to it's reputation and will only provide a bypass for the Nottingham traffic :sad: #-o

St Barthomews way is not a route into Melton. It is a junction from the A606 Nottingham Road where the roundabout is going.. Saxby Road is a "b" road and not really a main route into Melton. We have had far worse road closures over the last few months but it is nearly at an end now.
