The Brampton Valley Way (BVW) is being upgraded in at least two places in Northampton: where it crosses the A5099 near “The Windhover” pub and where it goes under the Northampton-to-Rugby railway line to the north of King’s Heath.

One of the workmen confirmed that the intention is to widen the cycle path and provide a tarmac top.
