The road starts in Market Harborough,[2] Leicestershire, at the junction of the A4304 St Mary's Road and Clarence Road. It begins as Kettering Road,[30] crosses the River Welland,[31] and continues as Springfield Street, Northampton Road and Harborough Road, before crossing the county boundary into Northamptonshire.[32]

The A508 is named Harborough Road for 21 kilometres (13 mi), until it becomes Harborough Road North at a roundabout in the village of Boughton. The first village in Northamptonshire is Great Oxendon, where the road passes St Helen's Church.[33] The road then passes Kelmarsh Hall and Kelmarsh village. South of Kelmarsh it intersects with the A14 road, a dual carriageway trunk road, at a grade-separated junction.[3][4]

History

Bypasses

The Yardley Gobion bypass, extending from Grafton Road to 300 m (980 ft) south of Yardley Road, was opened by Tim Boswell, MP for Daventry.[35] The project, executed by Kottler and Heron (a division of the Galliford Group), cost £1.9 million.

The 1.9-mile (3.1 km) Brixworth bypass was inaugurated on 27 October 1989 by Roger Freeman, MP for Kettering.[citation needed] The project, undertaken by Galliford, amounted to £4.4 million.[citation needed]

The 1.6-mile (2.6 km) Roade bypass, an S2[clarification needed] road, was opened on 21 August 2023. The construction was carried out by Winvic Construction as part of the SEGRO Logistics Park development.[36]
