Bassetlaw road closures: seven for motorists to avoid this week

Bassetlaw's motorists will have seven 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 five closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• A1, from 8pm April 11 to 5am April 14, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 southbound, Upper Morton to Elkesley, Lane closure for maintenance works.

• A1, from 8pm April 11 to 6am April 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Blyth, slip road and lane closures for survey works, diversion via local authority and national highways network.

• A1, from 8pm April 15 to 5am April 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 southbound, Elkesley to Markham Moor, Lane closure for maintenance works.

• A1, from 8pm March 7 to 6am April 28, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Apleyhead to Blyth, Lane closures due to maintenance work.

• A1, from 8pm January 18 to 6am April 29, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Sutton On Trent to Upper Morton, Lane closure due to works on behalf of National Highways.

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

• A1, from 8pm April 17 to 6am April 19, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound, Apleyhead to Blyth, carriageway, Lay-By and lane closures due to maintenance work, diversion via National Highways and local authority network.

• A1, from 8pm April 24 to 5am April 25, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 southbound, Ranby to Apleyhead, exit slip road and lane closure for maintenance works, diversion via National Highways network and local authority network.

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