Road closures: five for Newark and Sherwood drivers this week

Drivers in and around Newark and Sherwood will have five National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

But motorists will be able to take some solace in the fact that all of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• A1, from 8pm February 17 to 6am February 22, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Gonerby Moor to Coddington, Lay-By and slip road closures due to maintenance works, diversion via National Highways and local authority network.

• A1, from 8pm February 7 to 6am June 21, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Markham Moor to North Muskham, slip road, lane and lay-by closures for barrier repairs, diversion via national highways and local authority network.

And a further three closures will begin over the next seven days:

• A46, from 8pm February 20 to 6am February 22, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 northbound and southbound, Winthorpe to Brough, Lane closures for survey works.

• A46, from 8pm February 20 to 6am February 22, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 southbound, Farndon roundabout to Cattle Market roundabout, Lane closures and a diversion route due to maintenance work.

• A1, from 8pm February 20 to 5am February 21, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound, Coddington to Winthorpe, Lane closure due to maintenance works.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
