A14 closure: Northamptonshire road reopened near M1/M6 junction after lorry overturns

Drivers saw delays of up to an hour on the A14 in Northamptonshire this morning after an overturned lorry blocked traffic.

The road westbound between junction 1 and the M1/M6 was closed, with delays of around an hour on approach and tailbacks stretching seven miles. Both lanes of the carriageway have since reopened and delays are easing.

National Highways: East Midlands said at 10am in an update on X: "This incident is now clear, and all lanes have re-opened on the A14 westbound between J1 (Welford) and the M6/M1. Delays remain in the area but should now start to ease. Thanks for your patience this morning."
