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 under 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 December 8 2023 to 6am February 10 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 four closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• A1, from 8pm January 17 to 6am January 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound, Tuxford, slip road and lane closures for electrical works, diversion via National Highways network and local authority network.

• A1, from 8pm January 18 to 6am January 19, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1M southbound, junction 35 to junction 34, Lane closures for general cleaning and maintenance works.

• A1, from 10pm January 24 to 6am January 26, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound, Tuxford, Lane closure due to works on behalf of Network Rail.

• A1, from 8pm January 29 to 5am January 31, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound, Twyford to Elkesley, slip road and lane closure due to 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.
