Newark and Sherwood road closures: five for motorists to avoid over the next fortnight

Newark and Sherwood's motorists will have five 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 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:

• A46, from 1pm June 14 to 6am June 27, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 northbound and southbound, Flintham to Newark on Trent, slip road, lane and mobile lane closures due to maintenance works.

• A1, from 1pm June 19 to 6am July 4, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 northbound and southbound, Newark on Trent to Swinderby, Lay-By and lane closure and temporary traffic signals due to maintenance works.

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

• A1, from 8pm June 28 to 5am June 29, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 southbound, Coddington to Balderton, Lane closure for maintenance works.

• A1, from 8pm July 3 to 5am July 4, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound, Weston to Tuxford, Lane closure due to maintenance works.

• A1, from 8pm July 10 to 6am July 11, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound, North Muskham, Lane closure due to works on behalf of Hutchison 3G.

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