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

Newark and Sherwood's motorists will have six road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

And one of them is expected to cause delays of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

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 January 4 to 10am January 8, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 northbound, Winthorpe, temporary event signage for The Winter Classic Motorcycle Show.

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

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