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

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

But drivers 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 three closures are due to start over the next two weeks:

• A46, from 8pm August 8 to 5am August 10, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 northbound and southbound, Cattle Market roundabout to Brownhills roundabout, temporary traffic signals for maintenance works.

• 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 or temporary traffic signals 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.
