Dom on MIGweb posted info about road closures this weekend around Northampton. The circled areas on the map below is where the majority of the roadworks/closures will be. I'd avoid the area if you can!!

The m1 is the big blue line  Strangely enough, it doesn't pass the entrance to Santa Pod

Closure on the A45 is only the bit of road after the slip road by riverside retail park just before billing. Was really busy at the weekend as obviously everyone is coming off there and using the diversion.
If you insist on using that route you are best off coming off the junction before and going on the Bedford Road (A428) and come off that and go through Little Houghton and you will come out at Billing but past the roadworks
