Road closures: five for Newark and Sherwood drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around Newark and Sherwood will have five National Highways road closures to watch out for 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 one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• 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 four closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• 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.

• A1, from 8pm July 10 to 5am July 13, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 southbound, Winthorpe to A17 interchange, Lane closures for maintenance works.

• A46, from 1pm July 14 to 6am July 25, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 northbound and southbound, Swinderby to Carholme roundabout, slip road, layby, and lane closures and temporary traffic signals due to maintenance works, diversion via National Highways network 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.
