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 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 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 four closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• A1, from 8pm November 29 to 6am December 1, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Long Bennington to Coddington, Lane closures for survey works.

• 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.

• 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.

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