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.

And one of them is expected to cause delays of between 10 and 30 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 8pm December 1 to 6am December 5, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52/A46 eastbound and westbound, Gamston to Bingham, Lane closures due to maintenance work.

• A1, from 8pm November 6 to 6am December 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Elkesley to Cromwell, slip road, lane and lay-by closures for barrier repairs, diversion via national highways and local authority network.

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

• A46, from 8pm December 4 to 6am December 5, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 southbound, Carholme roundabout to Skellingthorpe roundabout, carriageway closure due to maintenance work, diversion via local authority network.

• A1, from 8pm December 8 2023 to 6am January 27 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.

• A1, from 8pm December 9 to 5am December 10, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A1 southbound, Twyford to Markham Moor, slip road and lane closures due to barrier repairs, diversion via national highways 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.
