A607 road (Great Britain)
The A607 is an A road in England that starts in Leicester and heads northeastwards through Leicestershire and the town of Grantham, Lincolnshire, terminating at Bracebridge Heath, a village on the outskirts of Lincoln. It is a primary route from Thurmaston to the A1 junction at Grantham.
The road used to begin at the junction with the A46 (Fosse Way) in Syston.
The road begins in Leicester on the A594 inner ring road from the Burleys Flyover intersection, near Thames Tower, as Belgrave Gate. The section of road was the A46, and also the A6. As Belgrave Road it is well known in Leicester as a place of curry houses, and the city council promotes this fact. At Belgrave Circle (a grade separated junction - the Belgrave Flyover) it meets Abbey Park Road (B5327) north of the Murco Petroleum Ltd Flyover Filling Station and Leicester College's Abbey Park Campus at Painter Street, with the college's Technology and Engineering Centre on the eastern side of the flyover, next to the Bridle Lane Tavern. The Belgrave RoadSainsbury's is on the right. In Belgrave, Loughborough Road leaves to the left, which was the former A6. The road now becomes Melton Road and meets the former A6030 at crossroads. On the corner of Sandringham Avenue there is the BP Sandringham Service Station on the left, and from here the road becomes a dual-carriageway. There is a roundabout with the Owl & Pussycat on the left. In Rushey Mead it passes Rushey Mead Academy on the right, and meets the A563 Leicester outer ring road (Troon Way) at crossroads. The former site of the GE Lighting factory (closed in 2007) is on the right (originally British Thomson-Houston, then AEI). The Shell (former TOTAL) Fosseway Service Station is on the left.
