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 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 10am July 26 to 10am August 1, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 northbound, Winthorpe, temporary event signs for the Focus event.

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

• A1, from 8pm August 1 to 5am August 2, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound, Winthorpe, Lane closures due to barrier repairs.

• A1, from 8pm August 2 to 5am August 3, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 southbound, Long Bennington to Foston, Lane closure due to maintenance work.

• A46, from 6am to 4pm on August 13, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 northbound and southbound, Elston, slip road closures due to Newark Half Marathon.

• A52, from 8pm August 14 to 6am August 24, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 eastbound and westbound, Bingham to Barrowby, Lane closures due to maintenance works.

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