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

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

But the news isn't too bad, with all of them only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 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:

• M1, from 8pm February 3 to 5am February 5, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound and southbound, junction 29 to junction 30, Lane closures for drainage works.

• A1, from 8pm December 8 2023 to 6am March 2 2024, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, North Muskham to Apleyhead, slip road, lane and lay-by closures for barrier repairs, diversion via national highways and local authority network.

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

• A1, from 9pm February 6 to 5am February 7, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 southbound, Twyford, slip road and lane closure due to maintenance works, diversion via national Highways network.

• M1, from 9pm February 7 to 5am February 8, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 29a, slip road and lane closure due to maintenance works.

• A1, from 10pm February 8 to 6am February 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 southbound, Blyth, slip road closure due to works on behalf of EE.

• A1, from 8pm February 9 to 5am February 10, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound, Tuxford to Carlton-On-Trent, Lane closures due to barrier repairs.

• A1(M), from 9pm February 19 to 5am February 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1M northbound, junction 34 to junction 35, Lane closure for general cleaning and maintenance.

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