Bassetlaw road closures: five for motorists to avoid over the next fortnight

Bassetlaw's motorists will have five road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

But drivers 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 July 20 to 6am July 31, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound, Apleyhead to Ranby, Lane closure due to maintenance work.

• A1, from 8pm July 24 to 6am September 2, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Tuxford to Ranby, Lane closures for maintenance works.

And a further three closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• A1, from 8pm August 1 to 6am August 2, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1M northbound and southbound, junction 34 to junction 35, Lane closure for general cleaning and maintenance.

• M1, from 9pm August 2 to 5am August 3, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 29 to junction 29a, Lane closure due to maintenance works.

• M1, from 8pm August 14 to 6am August 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound and southbound, junction 29 to junction 29a, Lane closures due to survey works.

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