Road closures: five for Bassetlaw drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around Bassetlaw 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 less than 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• A1, from 8pm September 14 to 6am September 27, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Tuxford to Apleyhead, slip road, layby and lane closures due to maintenance works, diversion via National Highways network and local authority network.

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

• A1, from 1pm September 19 to 6am September 30, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Elkesley to Blyth, carriageway, laybys and lane closures with diversion routes due to maintenance works.

• A1, from 8pm September 23 to 5am September 24, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 southbound, Ranby to Appleyhead, Lane closure for maintenance repairs.

• A1, from 10am September 24 to 10am October 2, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Ranby, temporary event signage for event at Osberton.

• M1, from 8pm September 28 to 5am September 29, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 southbound, junction 30 to junction 29, Lane closure due to maintenance work.

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